Probably you think what mailing list is better ? In mailing list new 
user will not see even things that was started. I also dislike poorly 
maintained wiki and poorly maintained software and poorly maintained 
anything.

Your point of view is clear and immutable. I guess main reason for you 
to include for-in loop in language was delphi.

Why not? A mechanism to translate Pascal to Javascript is should be 
interesting even from academic point of view.
As for everyday programming in IT company then I have my own experience 
and will decide what is useful for me myself :)

You have good wishlist. May be it would be better to store it not in 
mailing list.
