If we expected lots more activity in the completion area, it might be
worth thinking about another mailing list regardless of where the
repository is.  Presumably there would be requests to cherry-pick
people's changes that needed to go somewhere.

The disadvantage is this has overlap with the users list (is this
a shell feature or just an issue with a completion script?) and
history suggests the human race isn't very good at dealing with
overlapping mailing lists.

It's easy to have additional repositories at Sourceforge --- the
question is whether they can be set up conveniently for the desired
model, which I don't know.  I think in any case this is easier than
trying to mix and match with a single repsository in Sourceforge --- the
expense being you'd clone one extra repo but identically to how you do
the source repository.  That's already how the website repository works.
But that might not get us what's required to get this off the ground.
