Agreed. Let's design something without one.

In my view, a shared list that's explicitly intended as a collaborative venue 
is the best idea - that way developers don't have to understand or agree with 
the niceties of anyone else's governance. If [email protected] isn't 
going to work, how about we ask TDF to host a collaborative venue for security 
postings by each other's security team members?
