I see that there is certain interest in separating messages about
security updates in given packages from general security discussions and
announcements. Nonetheless if the arch-security list becomes closed down
for public participation then we are in need of a new list for the
latter two purposes.

Dear arch-security subscribers,
Dear arch-general subscribers,
the policy of the arch-security mailinglist is currently changed to a
restricted advisory announcements only list due to certain reason
roughly explained on the arch-devops [0] and arch-dev-public [1] lists.
As there was no announcement and discussion about this change yet, we
want to invite you to discuss the restriction of the arch-security
mailinglist on the CC-ed arch-general list. After making sure you are
subscribed to arch-general [2], you can simply reply to this
announcement by posting directly to the arch-general mailinglist.
Our main goal behind this change is to separate relevant official
announcements and advisories from possibly long and frequent
discussions. The security teams idea is that each announcement to the
arch-security list should be considered as an urgent alert and reviewed
as soon as possible, without the need to filter them from general
conversations and exchange of "unverified" information.
sincerely,
Levente (anthraxx)
