I should note that this is not a krb-wg document, and is getting close
to  off-topic here.  I started the discussion here because I was raising
an  issue specifically related to Kerberos and potentially broader than
just  PKU2U; namely, handling of mapping X.500 DN's to Kerberos
principal names.  It seems that particular issue has been resolved, at
least for PKU2U, by  observing that PKU2U needn't expose Kerberos
principal names and so doesn't  actually need such a mapping.

At this point, I think the remaining issues are not particularly
Kerberos  specific, and in fact much of this seems to touch on things
that affect  other GSS-API mechanisms and the work of the Kitten WG.  I
think it might  be worth taking the discussion of naming issues and
especially naming  extensions to the Kitten list.

KITTEN doesn't work on mechanisms either, but KITTEN is appropriate for discussion of GSS-API naming issues. So, yes, we should take this to the KITTEN list, though eventually PKU2U will be off-topic there also.

I agree, PKU2U is clearly not in KITTEN's charter. However, IMHO it is an appropriate source for expert advice on GSS-API naming issues, and for expertise on GSS-API in general. I believe its members have been asked to look at PKU2U in the past, and their comments would certainly be welcome now, as it nears completion.
