Actually, looking at these discussions over several years I think this
proposition is robust. IMO, we could make more proper relations between
gschem/gnetlist/gaf and pcb using
  1. either more serious integration (like KiCAD);
  2. or more serious separation, defining more robust interfaces
  gschem/gnetlist/gaf or pcb would need to exchange necessary data
  between the programs (so the mailing list separation would be useful,
  too)

Actually, many our tools having no actual developers/owners, despite
they seem to be "useful", have no appropriate care. Topics discussed in
the list are very different so I find me spending time on reading those
topics threads I don't need to, rather than search for them in the web if
I would really need them. The same applies to dev stuff. I'm just not
able to read in time all the wall of posts I see here nowadays.

Cheers,
