Hoi,
Yes, it has been done wrong because it is thought to be sufficient to 
ask things that are relevant to all projects on the Wikipedia-l. It is 
absolutely inappropriate. It may be the international mailing list but 
it is only the Wikipedia mailing list. It is really nice that you 
suggest that I may copy it to other mailing list. I am of the opinion 
that this has been done wrong. This is not obscure, this is not 
considering that there is more to the Wikimedia Foundation than either 
Commons or Wikipedia.
It is really nice that you send a message to all these Wikipedia mailing 
list but it is outrageous to suggest that the other projects have to 
accept what you propose because they have not been informed.
Thanks,
