That might happen if the volume gets high, but we're a polite bunch and
can point that out if it happens.  :-)  If there's some implementation
minutiae that needs a lot of to and fro between just two people then
that might go off-list just as it would with any list?

True, but I think all the *troff maintainers are on here so common,
compatible, ways forward can be agreed when it's useful.

I'd still say give it a try.  Perhaps where it is, say, Plan 9-troff
specific, mention that in the subject.  We've lost the benefits of
Usenet readers like trn, but some of us might have mailer's with `kill'
files.  :-)

Cheers, Ralph.
