If people feel changes need to be made like broadcasting to a wider audience when a change occurs, then please bring it up on distutils-sig. But if people choose not to participate then they are implicitly delegating decision powers to those who do participate (which is totally fine and I'm not implying that if people don't participate they are doing something wrong).
Participating there, especially for a non-native speaker, is basically a full-time job. You're met with a large number of extremely lengthy posts that would require an incredible amount of time to respond to in a careful manner. And ultimately it is the persons that Guido delegated the authority to who decide everything. I think many people have concluded that the influence/time ratio is too low to be worth it. Also I don't know any other development group who is a) that quick in trying to suppress any "off-topic" discussions and b) constantly uses venues outside of the Python mailing lists to steer and manipulate public opinion.
