I quite like the current approach of discussion on mailing lists
(and/or IRC), followed by documentation of the outcomes of such
discussions on the wiki (where the discussion can be continued if
necessary with non-list-subscribers).

I don't particularly see a need for more mailing lists - if people are
only interested in reading about vandalism, for example, rather than
using a vandalism@ list, the subject of the thread should be enough to
indicate the topic.

I also agree that this is important:
