Cool, you wanna go ahead and create it?

Nothing further is expected. I imagine there will be little-to-no 
overlap between emacs-devel and emacs-humanities discussions. In fact it 
would probably work best if it were clear it's not a tech support line, 
in which case I'll revise the proposed description to:

If GNU's preference is for someone at GNU to admin the list that would 
also be my first preference, but if you want someone else, I'm happy to.
