C-c C-c changes indentation by side-effect. Its purpose is to repair the
current list, which is broken if you use "[TAB]-".

Also don't forget M-RET to insert an new item. I strongly suggest that
binding which does a lot more than simply adding one bullet (renumbering
if necessary, updating of checkboxes, etc.). I usually do M-RET and
possibly TAB until the item has the correct indentation.

Knowing that, I don't see any necessity for an "electric indentation".
Though, to answer your question, I don't think this has ever been
discussed.

"M-RET TAB" will be enough.

I don't know what is expected here. Again, since you press "[TAB]-"
you're creating a broken list. First use C-c C-c to repair it, then you
can expect something out of it.
