The way we do things around here is more of the opposite: announce and very short description first, and be ready to answer questions, handle feedback (no module is an island in GeoServer). Then write docs for everybody else to use. Mind the first announce mail audience is not "everybody interested in the GeoServer development" at a large, but just the existing committers, so it can be very tight and to the point. Going from there to wider audience requires more communication effort, but that is not required to just commit and start working on a module. If you look at the community modules documentation it's said you need the get go from a PSC member to add a new community module: http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GSIP+22+-+Community+Modules I also find it an act of courtesy, from a PSC member willing to add a community module, to ask the get go to at least another PSC community member, or at the very least send a mail before doing it. It just keeps the committer group together and show you're willing to work along other people as opposed to working alone.
