Having to subscribe to a mailing list just to say "I support this work" 
indeed seems tedious. But please note that the actual spec work will be 
done on a mailing list (the one which was created already). As long as 
all these supporters (or at least a fair percentage of them) are ready 
to join the mailing list for the actual work, I personally am fine with 
expressions of interest like the ones you provided.

Regards,   Martin.

P.S.: Please note that IETF WGs are quite free in how much of the 
details they want to use github for, but important issues should be 
announced on the mailing list, and discussion in github should not be 
seen as final.
