I know you mean well, but my impression from reading the kernel list is
that often a message that says "we already debated this issue on our list
to death and here is our conclusion, take it or leave it" to the audience
is not accepted warmly, and more central kernel people may even say "do
not hide the discussion in the subsystem list, do it in the open,
discussion on the subsystem list does not matter".

Taking that lesson from the other community, I'd suggest that it is
probably a good idea to start discussion on your list, but once (some)
people in the discussion think the topic is releavant here, move it here
sooner rather than later.
