Proposal for an emacs-humanities mailing list

[Paul W. Rankin]

During EmacsConf 2020 it became clear that there is a sizeable number of 
people who use Emacs outside of a programming context, specifically in 
the Humanities, and there was support for a mailing list dedicated to 
this group.

The benefit of such a list would allow those using Emacs within the 
Humanities a way to become more directly involved with the project 
without committing to the emacs-devel or help-gnu-emacs lists, which are 
much more programming-focused than the average Humanities user may be 
comfortable with or interested in.

I would be happy to administer this list, and could surely bring on 
others of a similar background and interest. (I'm a member of the 
Savannah Emacs group.)

Proposed address:
emacs-humanities@gnu.org

Proposed description:
This list is for general discussion and help for using GNU Emacs in the 
Humanities. Participants are assumed to be non-programmers and respected 
as such.
