I welcome anyone to join my project. That said, I'm not going to 
implement a quota system just because you don't like the balance of 
contributors.

Sure, it will disperse some discussion. Having a tight knit, focused 
team in a private mailing list is a "good thing" though. It allows 
people to focus on actual work instead of irrelevant noise. This allows 
people to produce better documentation. I fail to see how this is a 
problem as most issues that affect all of fedora-docs will still be 
raised here.
