   There appears to be a general lifecycle of mailing list -> newsgroup;
   it is my understanding that the mailing list is counted as a block of
   "YES" votes when such a transition is being considered.

   At present, (requests are still coming in) there have been 3 drops
   and 45 adds, bringing the total strength of the group to 75.  The
   requirement for newsgroup creation is that there be 100 more "YES"
   votes than "NO" votes, and I think we can safely assume that this
   condition will be satisfied by the end of the year...
