I don't do much in docs-land (nothing outside of marketing+docs-lands), 
but I can clean out a mailing list queue once a week, or more often if 
necessary. I've seen lots of other sub-projects send little tidbits here 
and there and it would be unfortunate for this to be inhibited by 
requiring someone sign up for Yet Another Mailing List. I could probably 
also pick up any others if you need me to, Paul.
