I just noticed that yesterday Erik filed three Custom Element bugs but I 
didn't receive an announcement about them:

* [Custom]: No way to pass parameters to constructor
<https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24018>

* [Custom]: No way to associate class/constructor function
<https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24019>

* [Custom]: A tag name should be associated with the constructor and not 
the prototype
<https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24020>

Unlike other specs/components, new Web Components bugs are not announced 
on public-webapps (although like all of WebApps' components, new Web 
Components bugs are announced on public-webapps-bugzilla [which only has 
5 subscribers]).

For consistency reasons, and to facilitate transparency, it seems like 
all new Web Component bugs should be announced on public-webapps. Does 
anyone object to that?
