Even when provreg was a working group the same mailing list, hosted in
the same place, was used for group discussion.  An explicit decision was
made to keep the list open for ongoing discussion after the working
group was closed.  Nothing has changed in terms of the agreed-upon place
for ongoing work discussion.

All individual submission work that happened after the group closed was
done in complete accordance with IETF procedures, with appropriate
public announcements, using the agreed-upon mailing list.  Responsible
"stakeholders" have a responsibility to stay involved, Bernie.  I know I
can't have done any more to let people know what's been going on.
