I would doubt him/her objecting considering that the group has 33 
members, less than 1 post per month on average, and at least some of 
the members are also members of this list.

Actually, I would not mind continuing such a general list for 
metacard as we have now. The Rev list has more noise and 
significantly more traffic (I subscribe to it, but can't keep up to 
follow all threads). People who would likely remain on the MC list 
will be the hardcore MC users and thus likely interested in at least 
theoretical participation in changes to GUI. A separate list for GUI 
developers can be always spun off if the situation warrants it.
