I guess I don't understand what your usage model for LP is. We have a
release tracking bug for every release. That tracking bug is used by
various parties to indicate the progress of the release.

As you are aware we are looking at other ways to use LP and the tracking
bugs to facilitate better transitioning and tracking of workflow.

However, there may be other issues / discussions that pop up and are
mostly relevant to just a select group of folks. Yes we could certainly
use one of the existing mailing lists for that. We felt that we would
disappear into the noise and it wouldn't be an effective means of
communicating. And our goal here is better communication. We certainly
are not trying to hide what we are doing.

Am I missing your point?
