I don't think that 'or' is the right word here. If we want to split 
these topics into a seperate list, we really need someone to write down 
the "voting issues" posting per week.

Simply move the proposal stuff into a different list without this 
posting is probably a very bad move, since this tends to become the 
"elitist circle" that most people want to avoid (including myself).


So is someone really willing to do the extra work to collect the "voting 
issues" posting weekly? I'm personally not, Robin maybe?

If we find someone, who is doing the above job we might start with this 
summary posting in talk, in addition to the current postings and see how 
it works out.

Then move over the "normal proposal discussion" to the new list a few 
weeks later if the summary tends to work ...

P.S: I could even imagine a real automated system that will do all the 
proposal/RFC/voting stuff, collect it and send out such mails, but this 
is way beyond our current developer manpower I think.
