I think we should also have a general-commits@ list for the new website
(see below) and the wiki-diffs

I'm happy to moderate another mailing list.

Why no archive for pmc list (this should be private too)

IMHO we should have a repository for the new website (which should
contain just the general stuff and link to the existing fop/batik

We also need a xmlgraphics unix group with all (active?) committers.
