This is a horrendously bad idea.  If we have problems, then we have
problems.  Hiding them is not (repeat: not) a winning idea.  It only
discourages from getting fixed.

Also, if we're incapable of dealing with robust technical discussion,
then we have bigger problems to deal with.

And, lastly, I don't think new lists are, in general, a good idea: look
at how populated xorg-arch and xevie are, to pick two random examples.
They're both more or less dead, despite the subject group being
important.

You can always just ignore the pointless trolls and get on with it ...

No.
