Creating a separate list has real drawbacks and very little in the way of
benefits.

If your desire is to get feedback from EAP implementers, why not post on a
list they already subscribe to (such as EMU)?

Creating a new list is in effect requiring those people to actively decide
to pay attention to your work, rather than you bringing the work to them.

For a protocol that is more than 20 years old, with dozens of
implementations and billions of existing devices, this is not a sound way
to move forward.
