While not harmful, I'm not sure this is necessary if the more-or-less
standard naming convention for drafts is followed for non-WG drafts:
draft-conroy-sipping-foo-bar
indicates that the author Conroy believes the sipping WG to be the
appropriate place for discussion, just like
draft-sipping-foo-bar
indicates the same, without the need to dig through a document. This
is also a good idea since the WG tools page seems to use the same
algorithm. Obviously, if there is no appropriate working group at
all, this doesn't work, but maybe an area indication is sufficient:
draft-conroy-rai-foo-bar
If we eventually get new I-D submissions tools, it seems easy enough
to enforce such a naming scheme.
As long as mail contains the draft name in the subject line, it's not
too much a burden for either author or WG to see those comments or to
search for them.

Hi Folks,
as a slight counter to that:
I have had feedback in the past from WGs that it is unwise to
include the
WG's ML inside a draft intended (eventually) to be an RFC.
The rationale was that the WG (and its ML) will disappear, whilst
an RFC is forever.
However, an unprocessed/not updated I-D disappears after 6 months, and
that is a lot shorter than the half life of a WG, so your mileage
may vary.
Maybe ML info should be put inside a note to RFC-ED (i.e. remove on
approval)
within each draft?
atb,

I have argued for years that an I-D that doesn't say in its

discussed on is incomplete, but I don't seem to have achieved
much success for that.
100% agree. On many of my drafts I put in the abstract what list
comments should be sent to. I also strongly support having the
information if the draft is intended to be a BCP, PS,
Informational, etc.
