Wasn't `cordova-discuss` for a totally different use case?

>From how I understood it, Cordova has/had a formal "proposal" process
that consisted of someone writing a proposal as a PR for higher level
topics. Then a discussion was triggered via an email to this list,
which was had in the comments and reviews of the PR. Text was adapted
and changed, later the proposal was voted on on the list again. If it
was accepted, the proposal was merged into the repository and progress
was kept track via changes to the document again. Correct?

If this process should be abolished, fine.
If not, it should be documented so knowledge about it isn't just anecdotal.
But moving it over to apache/cordova doesn't make sense.

What organically happened in the issues of cordova-discuss - it kind
of became a place for issues without a proposal as well - was just
because it was one of the only Cordova repositories with issues
enabled (as it used to live in the `cordova` organisation, not
"apache", on Github) before.
Now most of the issues there can just be moved to the correct
component repository. If an "overview" of those is needed, we got the
GitHub Apache Cordova project board that could probably be used for
that (keep track of issues across multiple repositories and even
categorize them).

If there are issues left after that, those could be placed into
`apache/cordova` as a "high level cordova discussion" area if we
define it that way.
