Creating expectations that we'll promptly fail to fulfill sounds like a
bad idea.  If we did have established maintainers for whom private email
was an appropriate way to discuss changes, we would probably write that
down in a MAINTAINERS file, but xorg at lists.freedesktop.org or
bugs.freedesktop.org are the right places to propose changes.
