Nope, I'm not working on it; I don't have time. I'm sure that
*someone* on this list who really wants a FAQ or a list guide --
rather than just *asking* beforehand -- is willing to step up and take
charge of it themselves.

That's how stuff gets done here: by volunteers. This means *you*. It's
how MadHat got on the hook and how I was on the hook before him.

Yeah, I think this has been made *very* clear, and yet people continue
to post press releases to this list.

So, as far as I'm concerned, the people have spoken, you all very
clearly want press releases on this list, so have at it! Post them
here to your heart's content. Of course, the first person who
complains publicly about the resulting junked-up-list will get an
all-expenses paid visit from the good people at hitmanforhire.com. :>

Best,
