IMO email is one of the most important medium through which we conduct 
ourself in the community and from communication point or view it plays 
the most important role.

I think it is a good idea to have mailing list guidelines (whatever we 
agree upon) . Specially when the community is distributed and have lots 
of non native English speakers.

I have gone through it. It definitely addresses the over all idea. 
However I feel from Gluster point of view, we need more specific 
guidelines. One of the reason is Gluster is not an old/mature community  
as compared to Debian.
