When the html wg has been created, there was a proposal to reuse www- 
html for the WG list, but would create a patent policy problem. We  
would have had to unsubscribe everyone on the list and ask them to  
join the HTML WG.

* HTML WG mailing list  (work public, Member and public invited experts)
   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/
* XHTML 2 WG mailing list (work public, Member only participation +  
selected invited experts)
   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xhtml2/
* RDF in XHTML TF  (work public, Member only participation + selected  
invited experts)
   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-in-xhtml-tf/
* old HTML list (here, public discussion about html)
   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html/

I hope it helps. There is also Web API, XForms, etc.

For what is worth this list, www-html, is read by more than one  
person from the HTML WG, and other groups. Discussions can perfectly  
happen here too. A list is what participants are making of it.

"W3C Decision makers" is a strange term. It really depends on the  
context and the type of work which is done. There are more complexity  
than just a layered cake. The Web is made of many participants and  
decision makers. You are a decision maker too. It just depends on the  
context of it.
