Who is responsible for deciding how big/risky or small/minor a given issue is? I wouldn't want that job.

The problem is those present on the board call might think an issue is "small" and inconsequential. Those that might find a big problem in a small thing might not be present on a given call to raise such a concern. This is where there is value in sending a short email to the list to keep everyone looped in. We have had some examples of this in the past with changes to CVE status, impacts on downstream consumers, etc.

I don't think anyone is advocating against email, but I don't think we want things getting stuck in email discussion limbo, something the phone calls are good for.
