["Kevin McGuire (eclipse)" <eclipse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Agree this is better discussed in a bug report.

I think its great if this group wants to identify certain items for 
discussion or keeping on our collective radar, I'm just not sure of the 
right mechanics for doing so:

There are many bugs already logged and constantly logged against UI that 
are of this nature (suggestions for enhancements, some of a sweeping 
nature).  Would someone go and find all those and add that email as CC?  
Also, I have a slight concern around abuse, where bug reporters CC the 
group email as a kind of prioritized way to get their particular item on 
our radar (above that of other perhaps more important bugs).

Cheers,
Kevin

PS: note we already have ui.guidelines-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx.
