One question on polls and because the ones hosted via email seem
potentially inconclusive and subject to distracting discussion: is there
merit in hosting the poll using a polling service (Google Forms, Quick
Survey [https://github.com/simonv3/quick-survey/] at lyx.org, etc.)?  In
this way, I wonder if discussion could be separated from results.

As a vim user, this capability would feel familiar, but I have no strong
preference one way or the other.  However, vim keybindings in LyX would be
a (substantially) different matter.

Thanks,
