Personally I would strongly oppose making a new public list parallel to
this one for locale discussions.
My experience over several years of maintaining mail lists is that most
new lists have a week or two of postings and then languish. It is not worth
making a new list for *anything* unless a significant traffic pattern is
noted over a period of time pertaining to an area of speciality.
This is not the case here. This has been mostly a meta-discussion about
where locale discussions belong. It does not appear that there is a need
for a separate general-public locale list here.
(As usual, this is all my own opinion, and does not reflect any official policy.)

There has now been nearly a month to gain experience on this issue.
During this time there have been several hundred postings related to
locales. In just the last two days there have been more than 100. It is
very tedious for those of working on character encoding issues to have
to receive all of this irrelevant material.
