Good policy question :-)

My main reason in favor is that pgww already gets plenty
of traffic - usually at least 100 messages per week - that
are strictly operational about new eBook processing.

When I try to find policy discussions in my mail archives,
this stuff tends to mask some of what I'm interested in.
That's why I thought a second list was not a bad idea.

We can ditch the second list if nobody else wants it.  Like
I said, there are only 10 or so of us, and a new list doesn't
really go too far for helping get the work done.
