They don't want their mail forwarded, we shouldn't forward it. Which is probably true if IETF were a mail forwarding service, like iki.fi. But IETF is something different (look it up if you don’t know what I mean :-), and enabling communication is a rather important part of what it is. If a forwarding service cannot do that, a different service should be offered. A simple service that gives me the addresses of the people who should be in the alias, ready for copy/paste into a MUA, would do. This still does not solve the problem of one chair sending a note to some document authors and the other chair wide-replying to that to offer some additional information, but it would be a start.
