Comment (by nickm):

 Let me suggest the name "research-response@", since it's more broad and
 more narrow than described above.

 We need a small group that can prioritize fast evaluation of research
 claims.  That's different from press@, since lots of people who don't want
 to handle press queries are exactly the right people to read papers and
 pore through press releases.  And it's different from tor-security@, since
 tor-security's job to actually solve security problems, whereas this list
 is supposed to be generally dedicating to analyzing research (including
 non-attack research) from the POV of assessing the right way to talk about
 it with the press and making sure we stay accurate.

 (I would suggest this ought to be a non-public, archived, members only
 list, since arguing candidly about possibly bad research and possibly
 misleading claims is the kind of thing that presents diplomacy issues.)
