How will people know about this list? How will they know that there are
actually potentially important decisions being discussed on the list?

Perhaps by drilling down to

http://www.postgresql.org/community/lists/

and then reading this?:

pgsql-advocacy          PostgreSQL vs. the rest. Promotional ideas, etc.

All I'm suggesting is that we can do better than that: let's advocate
for the advocacy list a little bit. I also see no reason not to discuss
this on pg-general, as advocacy has traditionally been about promoting
Postgres. How the community decides to spend the money is a different
beast altogether, and the community is far better represented by
pg-general than the small group on advocacy.

And other people are complaining about the lack of feedback and discussion! :)
Can't have it both ways. This is not a vote: it's up to the Liason to act
or not act based on feedback they get from the community. I'd rather have a
discussion involving as much of the community as possible.
