That's because the word "legal" scares people.

That's because we have no rules for making announcements, nor a staff of  
volunteers who has pledged to do so.

The foundation-l list is necessary because wikipedia-l is clearly the  
wrong place to discuss 1) Wikimedia organization issues, 2) possible new  
projects and other tasks for the foundation.

On the other hand, I'm strongly in favor of merging intlwiki-l into  
wikipedia-l.
