I meant who are the people who created a list which includes this draft.

That sounds fine unless we go down the path where the "following" is 
used as a measure of whether there is interest in a proposal.

Yes.

If the information is labeled as "personal configuration", it keeps 
out the privacy discussion.

I, probably incorrectly, drew a parallel between the current mailing 
lists setup and this feature.

Agreed.

You could remind people that this tool is about letting "people keep 
track of changes in Internet Drafts".  Shared (public) lists could 
then be about tagging drafts by field of interest, e.g WG, drafts on 
v6 transition, etc. and sharing the list for reasons stated on Page 14.
