All three lists you cited have public archives, so it is clearly not the
case that there is no "paper trail".   But it does occasionally get
confusing, and the chairs made the "locus of API discussions" point in
order to take a particular set of discussions proposing a significant
change to the API and reduce the number of places someone who have to
follow to contribute to that discussion.
