I think the main concerns of the OP have been largely ignored by later 
comments in this thread. I would like to put the focus back to the 
issues OP had raised. Particularly, I would ask people here to focus on 
the "bug" report style improvement that OP had suggested for improvement 
of the mailing list rules.

I believe there will be more transparency in this group if a 
decentralized pattern is adopted for making decisions, instead of 
concentrating the authority in the hands of a few admins. Admins can be 
responsible for handling the technical part, but let suggestions of how 
a group will operate come from the entire group and not from a few 
individuals.

This group needs to be a forum for welcoming new people to FOSS, and 
enthuse them with the ideals of hacker culture of learning through 
constructive creativitity and sharing. Not a place where members have to 
follow rigorous "rules".

Also, "rules" needs to be renamed to "guidelines", and be made more 
flexible and less in number. Let the group decide what it wants and 
feels comfortable it, rather than spoon-feeding it with present guides 
and in turn taking away its ability to think independently.
