| The mailing lists have easily retrievable archives (I did that to

| subscription list.

Why not make it so that whoever requests the mailing list (the WG chair, or
whatever) also supplies an initial list of members, those who have already
expressed vocal interest in working on that problem.  Let any others who
haven't been vocal sign themselves up.
