First off, this is absolutely the wrong list to be discussing management 
of PostgreSQL lists.  That belongs on pgsql-www.  And, I'll point out, 
that this completely pointless discussion on the wrong list has been 1/6 
of the traffic on -hackers for the last two days.  Also, I really don't 
see what problem people think they're addressing with these bimonthly 
calls for list consolidation.  It seems like a solution in search of a 
problem.

So it's an exercise in ironic wankitude.   Can we please stop it now?

Second, regarding advocacy: no, absolutely not.  -advocacy is a working 
list and not a virtual water cooler.
