Here are three easily found and directly quoted charters
for this list, none of which are strictly constrained to only
the feature and bug topics described above...

"discussion regarding Tor development"
"Development related discussion list"
"for discussion by the developers"

Hardly. At least one email was newthreaded and deattributed,
using no monikers or personal pronouns, being void of any directives
or aggressive / abusive speech, and surely naught but positing
free and open questions.

Nay but benefit... It can help make developers stronger through providing
perhaps a rarely present oppurtunity outside the code routine for
self thought, reflection and review, to reaffirm or even adapt / modify
ones own course and efforts.

This has been noted as "interesting" by, and received "thank you"
from, at least one tor developer.

Should we not welcome and collaborate with all who might have
and allow for such occaisional thought time... are they not the
most welcome of any devs.

- A fourth, the list... "is very low traffic"

As any such reflection therein should perhaps be.
