For now, the following OPENI18N lists could be used, as this is where this CLDR
comes from:

HOW TO JOIN OPENI18N Mailing Lists
To subscribe or unsubscribe to listname@openi18n.org list, send mail to
listname-ctl@openi18n.org
with the phrase `subscribe "your name(not your email address)", for example,
subscribe Hideki Hiura
in mail body, not in subject. You will receive a confirmation email from the
mailing list server on openi18n.org. You need to reply to this confirmation mail
with the contents quoted. This feature is to prevent SPAMMERs to become
subscriber. The confirmation mail includes the line something like
confirm 12345677 Hideki Hiura
so the reply mail should include this line, something like as follows;
> confirm 12345678 Hideki Hiura
Then your subscription of the list will machinery be processed.

I have subscribed this list since long, but the traffic from it is almost always
null... Nobody seems to answer there, or the list is not working properly.
So Mark could look at what is not working there, before the lists are operated
in Unicode and finally transfered with its new policy. Some more responsive
lists seem to be the ICU developers list (because IBM still maintains the
locales repository which was also an important part of its ICU project, and now
becomes managed under the new Unicode LTC policy).
The OpenI18N mailing lists include specialized subgroups:
Sub Group ;
Leader; E-mail;
Mailing-list

System Architecture Subgroup ;
Yoichi Suehiro ; suehiro ;

The interesting parts for Unicode would be the System Architecture Subgroup,
Input Method, and Certification; but some of the issues are more general and
fall into the domain of RFC 3066. I have no idea where a RFC is discussed: IETF?
RFC-Editor.org?
The IBM repository has no more discussion now, because it can't accept new
commits even from the previous developers without first adhering to the Unicode
LTC policy. May be this (CVS hosted) repository could be splitted with a stable
branch placed under the LTC authority, and separate development branches where
proposals will be tested???
