*shrug* I'll give this a +1.  Although if discussion goes to
'fedora-devel' one wonders what the usefulness of fedora-maintainers will start to

Yeah, I don't get this.  fedora-maintainers is pretty useful - high
signal, low crap.  The proper reaction to things like this is almost
never _another_ mailing list.

It is pretty useful if you have the time to follow all the posts and read everything. It is wrong-minded however to expect everyone with lesser commitments to be able to read and follow everything on a busy discussion list. For them, they could opt to follow minimally fedora-devel-announce.

I'm half-decided on if fedora-devel-announce then kill fedora-maintainers. fedora-maintainers has the benefit of having a significantly better signal to noise ratio than fedora-devel-list. There is however a detriment to the redundancy.

If folks were willing to be more MILITANT AND CONSISTENT in enforcing the "devel only" rules for fedora-devel-list I might be happier about killing fedora-maintainers. But consistent enforcement has proven to be impossible to maintain in the past.

We should talk about this issues in tomorrow's FESCO meeting.
I've added it to the schedule.

Killing fedora-maintainers is part of the plan for the mailing list
reorganization the Board put on my plate months ago. The hardware for
that was promised for mid April. :-( Mike, any update when something
really happens?

No hardware was actually promised for this particular project and its still a very low priority to the infrastructure team (AFAIK). We have a current working solution in place right now for this. We did get the new netapp setup but we are still waiting on a new disktray for it. Also when you're talking about the plan, can you send me a link to it? It will better help me plan A) how important this is to ensure the continuance of Fedora and B) what we need to do to get it done.
