The hot at openstreetmap.org mailing list is not subject to any more restrictions than any other OSMF maintained list. It is not restricted to HOT members and partners, nor is it subject to HOT governance.
Here is my response from yesterday clarifying, in case you missed it.
> Sure, a simple clarification. The OSMF hosted mailing lists fall under the etiquette and moderation guidelines at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Etiquette. The HOT Code of Conduct applies to different domains and set of actors, most especially Voting Members of HOT. 

I don't see value in an additional mailing list myself, but rather encourage better and more intentional use of the resources we have.

 Dear all,

This is actually another interesting topic!
If we move for a more general mailing list on international 
development/humanitarian topics (not restricted to the HOT membership 
and partners), I would suggest maybe not to use the "humanitarian" word 
that is only describing a subset of this scope of activities.
Since development can be confusing with IT development, I would suggest 
something like international at openstreetmap.org

However creating doesn't always do the trick: we've seen it with the 
hot-francophone mailing list that was created to generate more exchanges 
between Francophone countries (in particular Africa & Haiti) on 
development topics and is not super successful because the communities 
we wanted to exchange with are not big fans of mailing lists for 
cultural reasons.

Best

Martin
