Has a Last Call been issueed?

[tom petch <daedulus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there any way to find out whether or not an IETF Last Call has been 
issued for an I-D?

I see Directorate reviews and think that I want to comment on the I-D, 
go to the Datatracker and it tells me that 'Publication has been 
requested' but when I search the e-mail archives, I see no sign of a 
Last Call e-mail.  There seems to be a state of limbo, after Publication 
has been requested but before a Last Call is issued, which can go on for 
months perhaps while the WG has further discussions about the I-D as the 
result of a Directorate review.  My wish is to wait until any such 
issues are resolved and then comment but unless I am signed up to the WG 
list, it would seem impossible.

And then of course not all I-D get an IETF Last Call so I would be 
hovering, pen in hand, for evermore!
