OK, fair enough.

No, I agree that getting things going here is important. Please consider
yourself "approved" as the coordinator of that initiative.

Could you please raise the topic of the criterias for list membership on
-project@ (probably with a specific proposal -- there's a high potential
for bikeshedding here :) )?

Also, generally, I would like us to keep an open mind about the goals
and inner workings of debian-companies at . For example, you mentioned the
idea of using -companies@ as a contact point for questions about deploying
Debian in complex setups. I agree that discussions about setting up a
coordinated support infrastructure should happen on that list, but I am not
convinced that the list should serve as a contact point for such support
requests.
