But, other maintainers could cull a rejection-FAQ from it that new
maintainers would like/use.  The number of people that know the common
issues right now is ~1.  With the list, that number can grow.

But they don't have to be.  As long as any @opencsw.org address can
post, those interested could subscribe.  The benefit of archiving the
info is still obtained.  A small change in operation for a fair amount
of benefit, imo.
