Also, the release votes here are a great way for other podlings
to learn about the release process.  I learn a lot from the
discussions.  Particularly while the process is so fuzzy, it
helps if you can go to one central mailing list to find out
about past votes.  One might say it shouldn't be like this, but
I think this change should not come before release policies are
a bit more settled and repeatable in the incubator.

So while I can see your point, I would prefer to keep the voting
and the discussion at general@i.a.o.
