Perhaps we should make it a requirement that any document that is Last Called must be associated with a mailing list, perhaps one whose duration is limited to the Last Call period and any follow-ups until the document is either published or finally rejected. If there were a WG, then the WG list should be a proper subset of that list, anyone commenting during the Last Call should be added to it, and others could be added on request.

Actually, I think it's an excellent idea. Tracking Last Call comments was always difficult, since the email tended to end up in several different folders and wasn't archived elsewhere.

I wish something like this had been in place a year ago. People sent last call comments I needed to read to five different lists (IIRC), and I subscribed to only to three of those.

But it could be less bothersome than having to set up a specific list. Just require that the draft specifies where comments should go and mention the address in the Last Call announcement.
