You don't seem to be listening, but one last try.

If you have a FE related question - Ask on cfe-dev and if you don't get a
response I'd be surprised. Additionally, if you don't get a response from
there maybe then follow-up with your idea of another list. What you're
describing would be extremely low traffic and I personally doubt you'd get
as much expertise interested in order to keep it viable.
