I think a python-implementations list would be a fantastic idea - I
sometimes miss multi-implementation discussions in python-dev, or at
least come in very late.
If other people agree then I will get Barry to create it.
Well, the question is, are many python-dev discussions CPython(specific? If not, then it doesn't make a lot of sense to create python-implementations (and it's one more subscription to manage for those of us who want to keep an eye on all core development-related discussions).
But the other VMs don't necessarily care about the development of the language, so when the occasional thing comes up regarding all the VMs, should that require they follow python-dev in its entirety? And I don't see the list making sweeping decisions that would affect CPython and python-dev without bringing it up there later. Think of the proposed list more like a SIG than anything else.
