I've completed an "AD review" of that one (I'll be the sponsoring AD
because Alexey is one of the authors). Overall it looks good. Here are a
few comments...

Section 2.2 states:

   The external lists are queried, perhaps
   through a list-specific mechanism, and the test evaluates to "true"
   if any of the specified values matches any member of one or more of
   the lists.

And:

   When any value is found to belong to the
   list, the queries stop and the test returns "true".  If no value
   belongs to the list, the test returns "false".

If a test MUST return true if any value is found to belong to the list,
does that place a limit on the "list-specific mechanism" by which a list
can be queried? If so, it would be good to say that, and to describe a
bit more what we mean by list-specific mechanisms. (It's also not clear
to me how such list-specific mechanisms are discovered or advertised.)

Section 2.4 states:

   A name of an externally stored list is always an absolute URI [URI].
   Implementations might find URLs such as [LDAP], [CardDAV], or
   [TAG-URI] to be useful for naming external lists.

URLs, or URIs?

IMHO it would be helpful for Section 2.5 to provide more examples.

Section 4 seems to imply that this document is registering a notify
Sieve extension per RFC 5435, but as far as I can see the extlists
extension is not a notification method.

Section 4 mentions both the ':list' match type and the ':list' argument
for the 'redirect' action. Are there (or could there be) any other uses
for the extlists extension?
