I really don't think it's that big a deal. It's only a "get the ball
rolling" and have some high level discussion. I'm sure there's going to
be a lot more before any decision is made and lots of feedback from
lots of parts of Fedora. This affects lots of us.

Yeah, I don't know of a great way to fix that either. 
Information is spread out because it makes sense usually to be in the
place it is. 

I think for the mailing list at least we could try and have someone
'summarize' discussions that go for 50 posts or something. Might help
those who can't read all the discussion. 

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Engineering/FY13_Plan#Mailing_List_Improvement_Application
may well help out someday. ;)

Is: https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/report/9 not what you are looking
for?
