Those suggestions sound reasonable to me, although it might be a good idea
to have that list, last-call, the IESG, the IAB, and the RFC Editor post
summaries to ietf@ periodically, much like some WGs do with GitHub activity.

That way, people can track what's going on, but have a place to follow up.
All of those areas have (slightly) different norms at the moment, so that
actually sounds an improvement to me. I suppose that gets closer to Rob
Wilton's suggestion of a read-only alias.

I think it might be ok to leave it as a writeable list, though. That way
people can ask questions (which will hopefully get swiftly redirected).

thanks,
Rob
