Something else that would be helpful is summarizing discussions that
don't result in code (perhaps on the developer wiki). That way if
someone wants to see the history of something they don't have to wade
through the list archives just to have some idea of what's being talked
about. This is probably especially important when the discussion results
in some design ideas/proposals but never moves forward from there.

I'd be happy to help as well.
