Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that any one way was worse (or better) than
another,

rather that there are too many places that people can discuss proposals. If
the OP has put up a proposal, & is on the List & the wiki discussion page
to explain details & counter arguments, so most people "here" are happy (!)
But at the same time, there's other groups talking about the idea on IRC &
XYZ, who aren't getting any feedback from the OP, so they can convince
themselves it's a bad idea so vote against it.

It would just be good if there was only  place that these discussions on
new proposals took place.

Maybe turn what I said before around - all discussion should be the wiki
discussion page, with the only mention on the List being "This new proposal
- all discussion at this page", & similar on all the other forums, IRC etc ?

Yep, like that!

Yeah, I know, so before anyone else says it: https://xkcd.com/927/ :-)

Thanks
