I don't think that "List for community development" mean that the list is for developers only.

In the wiki (a neutral place? ) the maemo-community mailing list is described like "For maemo.org web and community-process related discussions": https://wiki.maemo.org/Community_mailing_lists

If the Council decides to move the discussions here to the forum, I hope it will be highly moderated. It can't be like the rest of the forum (20 threads for the same problem, many off-topics posts, etc., well, you know what I mean).

Also, RevdKathy has a valid question, what would happen if the next Council prefer the mailing lists, and they decide move the discussion there?
It can be a valid question for other new problems on the future too.
