That may be technically possible, but it's not going to appeal to the
people I referred to in my earlier post:
For example, several academic and professional taxonomists

told me in e-mail that they would be interested in the species
proposal, (and one astronomer, likewise, for mars/ luna),
but do
not have the time to follow a general mailing list; indeed, a
couple asked me specifically if I would set up a separate
mailing list for the subject.
How do you suggest that we engage such people?
I reiterate my suggestion for a "modern" forum like BBPress, where
you can subscribe via RSS to individual threads, where threads can be
tagged, where searching is much less of a pain than with a mailing
list ...
But that didn't elicit any interest.
I know several people, who have quite a bit of interest in ufs, but
who just won't subscribe to mailing lists. This poses a real
difficulty with the uf process
"post something to the microformats-discuss (http://microformats.org/
mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss/) mailing list or any other
public channel (see http://microformats.org/discuss/)"[1]
As I'm not really sure there is an appropriate "any other public
channel" (does a blog count?)
