I like it, Jen. I know a lot of that kind of thing gets done backchannel, but some of us are not always in on that. I'd love to know about things and be able to contribute when I can.
I think having 2 keepers of the list would be a good idea, too.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
So would the idea be that the keeper would filter out the giftee manually?

Yeah, I mean, I don't even know whether the couple of keepers idea is the way people would want to go. Or whether it would be, "Hey, can you forward me the list?" That would be up for discussion for sure.
If keepers, then, yes -- I would imagine, send an e-mail to one of the maintainers, saying something like, "We're doing a thing for Sally, can you send out an e-mail using this text?" Then take Sally off the list, and send it out.
And, to be kind to our eyes, send stuff out bcc:, but that may just be a personal preference. Of mine.
ETA: And, you know, just to be kind, add a DON'T FORGET TO TAKE SALLY OFF THE LIST. OK?? OK!!!

Good idea! I missed the Maria op but would have contributed had I known.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yes, agreeing with Stephanie, I would have as well.

Same here. I like the idea!

Yeah, I think we've all probably missed one thing or another through the sheer pieciness of back channel, and how, at least in my experience, we're all using lj less these days. Or dw.
I applaud and bow to anyone who takes on organizing one of these things, because I know how hugely challenging it is to get to everyone, even with reposts, etc.

That sounds like a good idea. I have missed a couple as well.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I like the idea of an email list. People can select to be on it (or not), and it would be easy to filter out specific names if need be.

And some of us are actively avoiding using Facebook.
