[Cc'ed to some people I know or suspect are involved in TC39, to 
hopefully get some clarifications.]

I had the same sentiment. But I think part of it comes from the fact 
that I just don't know what kind of process ECMA TC39 is using.

And the other part comes from the fact that I repeatedly got messages 
from es-discuss-owner@mozilla.org saying:

Maybe I should just have tried to subscribe. Maybe I should have asked 
somebody. But frankly, it was the first time I can remember that in a 
standard-related mailing list, a mail was just automatically rejected.

I have managed mailing lists at both the W3C and the IETF, and in both 
cases, mails from addresses that don't match a whitelist (which is much 
wider than just the subscribers of the particular list) get sent through 
moderation. Maybe there are some specific reasons why this is different 
at ECMA, but it definitely doesn't help with inter-WG collaboration.

Regards,   Martin.
