I'm not against the cause, I just think it should be discussed on the main
list.  I think it has died due to lack of exposure, not lack of interest. 
If its a trilug topic it should be discussed on trilug.  Case in point: we
nearly have the email server.  Would we had we discussed it there: fact, no!

Same issue...  Discuss it for the all by the all, you'll get accidental
viewers volunteering.  The message needs to get out (first rule of social
activism).

I'm not proposing killing the issued, just that they should be discussed on
the main list and the subdivided lists which help kill the issues be
removed.
