Finding subject material in a one-for-all list is extremely hard. When 200+ new messages arrive daily finding the 2 or 3 you might want to read is very difficult. This is a no-win situation. Either A) you have separate lists for topics and run the risk of discussions happening in different places, or B) you shove everything into a few lists and the traffic (even if it is all signal) is so great, nobody reads it and topics they care about are missed. This is the part where you suggest an announce list, and then we argue about what is a suitable 'announcement'. Policy change? soname bumps? New packages? Removed packages? Meeting times/notes? At what point does the noise of a single announce list become so great that it gets ignored too? I don't have solutions, I only have experience and insight. I get most the mail anyway, so I don't necessarily care if it comes from one list of 5, but I do like subjects to be split out so I can set priority on what list to read. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
