I will drop off this thread after this post, as it seems that things are
working toward a solution.
I would suggest though that it is rather frustrating to see all of this
ink and blood spilt over what seems to be a misunderstanding.

I do not understand why this is easier than continuing on the existing
list.
when I asked that last time, I heard various replies:
- You need to be an iCLA signer to be on that list.
You don't - you never have. This list has been in existence for several
years, and this has not changed.
- You need to be an Apache contributor to be on that list.
You don't - you never have. This list has been in existence for several
years, and this has not changed.
- We have no administrative access to that list.
This had not been an issue to date - it seems that this is solvable, and
a way to create trust between the communities.
I'll add another issue that has been thrown out
- people getting thrown off the list or excluded
This also has not happened.
Thus,
it is a bit frustrating to listen to this conversation and the search
for a cure to a problem that may not have actually ever existed.

In the meantime, a bunch of other proposals have come in.
Looking at the history of this issue (Michael outlined it very well),
I think a neutral, trusted ground is the best way to cooperate in this
matter.
And again, I think everyone benefits the same from my proposal, with
no one overly preferred, and nobody losing anything. It demands the
same from everyone.
