I did speak to Lodewijk and Alice, who could not commit. As Bence puts it, the only extra 'benefit' that the 7 people who have agreed apart from me seem to get is that I will hound them by email and push them to contribute within the timeline etc. There is no new mailing list, nothing at all - so can you please bring your thoughts on to meta as you have done in the past and follow the timeline? That will really help. Best Bishakha
