I thought Ned was discussing drafts that were works-in-
progress rather than what a WG considered the finished
product. For the former, I agree with Ned that reviewing
list discussion is sometimes needed. And while yes, in
the ideal case, after WGLC a draft would stand alone in
theory, in practice I'm sure there are valid cases where
is does not, e.g. if the WG decided to punt on feature X.

More generally, on the topic of better glue between github
and mailing lists, I wonder has anyone tried to use the
labels that can be attached to issues on github, so that
posts to issues marked "for the list" (or whatever) would
be sent to the list with the ability to get email replies
back into the github issue? Some mechanism like that could
give WG chairs a tool that could allow them to "join" list
and github issue discussions maybe.

Cheers,
S.
