I think we should start with an e-mail thread with an appropriate title on 
xen-devel@ (CCing committers@) outlining 
* What the proposal is and why it is important
  - How we document it is secondary and I am happy to pick this up after there 
is agreement 
* How it would be implemented - e.g. if the proposal was to reject e-mails with 
a disclaimer, we need to have a mechanism that does this reliably and also 
informs senders why a mail was not posted. We wouldn't want xen-devel@ to 
become a black hole, where stuff from some people gets lost without

It then would have to go through a vote as normal. You may want to have a chat 
to Ian Jackson on IRC: he has some opinions and experience that is applicable

I just agreed with Ian, that there will be a similar discussion related to the 
2 step process to change maintainers via unsupported status, which also was 
highlighted in this thread. Although this can probably just be a patch to 
MAINTAINERS

Regards
Lars
