A rule of thumb for cross-posting public-vocabs with other lists

If you're happy Cc:'ing several W3C mailing lists, each with 100s of
list members, please consider taking the time to write up a summary of
these gigantic discussions in the Web Schemas wiki
too<http://www.w3.org/wiki/WebSchemas>.

It's great that these topics are engaging so many people but the
volume and intensity of traffic can also be overwhelming and
offputting for others. If it's worth cross-posting, then it's worth
summarising. I'd suggest cross-posted threads should be exceptional.
All these lists are publicly readable so a shared link to potentially
interested parties can often do more good as adding an extra Cc:...

The 'collections' thread seems to be revisiting traditional
semantic-web@ perma-thread territory. In my experience, the more
mailing lists that are copied on any given thread, the more generic
the discussion tends to become.
