   No. This list is for discussion of emacs development. GNU policy is
   related but largely off topic.

When it comes to clarifying misconceptioons, or trying to clearing up
policies that are relevant for the GNU project or a GNU project, then
it is certainly on-topic.  This list is after all part of the GNU
project, and as such it follows the policies of the GNU project.
