I would actually ask everyone except the Emacs maintainers to avoid
wording which could be interpreted as expressing the views or policies
of the project.  Many people who read this list only occasionally
don't know who is and who isn't speaking for the project, and thus
they misinterpret messages that express opinions to be policy or
something that's about to become policy.  This then causes
misunderstandings, unnecessary messages, potential flame wars,
articles in other forums that spread fake news about us, etc.  Please
try to avoid those negative effects by wording your opinions
correspondingly and/or making clear you don't speak for the project.

TIA
