Yes, indeed, asking here first is probably the best approach. The individual email addresses are just useful if you don’t hear back from any of the authors otherwise, and you really want their perspectives. Presuming they’re all on this mailing list, a fallback approach might be to send them a direct email (individually or in a group) nagging them to respond to this thread. (Of course, it isn’t fun to feel like a nag…)

I should probably switch my own subscription here to digest mode.
