Actually, there is a grain of a good idea here that I'd like to extract.
I wouldn't create two places to send comments and attempt to segregate
who can post to which group. However, creating an
ietf-comment(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org email list and asking >all< last call comments
to be sent to that email list has possibilities.

I've heard from a number of the FSF thundering herd people to the effect of

conveniently ignoring the fact that it says "the IETF community" all over the
place in the Last Call, but never mind.)
So clearly we need to change it to say something like:
Members of the IETF can send email to ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org(_dot_)
Members of the public
to whom this Last Call is forwarded, you can send email to
ietf-comment(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org, but we cannot guarantee to do anything
with comments
at such a late stage in the process. Please join the IETF if you wish to
influence standards while the are being worked on; see
http://www.ietf.org/<mumble> for instructions on how to do that.
(For "Members of the IETF" we can substitute "People who are subscribed to
the IETF Discussion list", if people think that is needed in place of the
technically somewhat nebulous "Members of the IETF".)
And hopefully we can get a few brave souls to volunteer to read ietf-comment,
and send on any comments which are novel and or important.
