There isn't a separate mailing list for the Compact Profiles effort. The 
changes are expected to be mostly build related so this is why the 
jdk8/profiles forest was setup to send the hg notifications here.

There's nothing platform specific in the proposal, it's just that we are 
only adding support to build the profiles on Linux at this time.

I don't think it would take a huge amount of effort to add support for 
other building on other platforms and perhaps this is something that you 
or others would like to contribute?
