In 1a (contributions) the definition includes:

| any IETF mailing list, including the IETF list itself,
| any working group or design team list, or any other
| list functioning under IETF auspices,

What exactly does that mean wrt "other lists" and their
owners / moderators ?  For examples see the list of
other lists <https://datatracker.ietf.org/list/nonwg/>

Especially:  Cosmogol.  AFAIK that was a pre-BoF list,
I'm not exactly sure what its status is at the moment.

EAI Design team.  That's a private list of some folks
in the EAI WG, it has no public archive at the moment.

xml2rfc is a list about the xml2rfc tool and document
format, what exactly need posters and the list owner
to know about IPR issues ?

The reason I ask is that some SPF folks were rather
skeptical when I proposed to submit "spf-discuss" to
the list of "other lists".

I _think_ that the IPR business for articles in the
"other lists" is in essence limited to "there's at
least one public archive" and "if you post a really
good idea it might be adopted in an IETF standard
later, even if you don't like how that's done."

Is that all, or do I miss something important ?  And
actually for articles posted on IETF lists incl. the
"other lists" the I-D doesn't state anything new, or
does it ?
