I agree with Alex.  Cross-project discussion belongs here.  I know of
no other list that's both active and neutral.  Ed has biases (as we
all have) but he's meticulously careful not to force them on others.

If a separate facility of cross-announcements were ever needed, then
we might implement it manually to begin with.  An official "announcer"
(could be anyone) would subscribe to all the necessary lists and then
post each announcement to all of them.  See how that works out.

My opinion,
