Maybe an list where only people with commit-privileges are alowed to
post (but anyone is allowed to read) could serve as the 'architectural
discussion' forum. I don't expect to be able to post there, but i'd like
to know whats going on. More people could be allowed to post, if they
are 'known' to any of the people already on the list.

Just an idea,
