Did anyone claim that? - No. Years ago I've suggested creating a list where to address all contributors. One list that would be mandatory to subscribe to. Not multiple lists. Examining the list archives of devel-announce (which packagers MUST be subscribed to) and comparing with announce, the purpose of these lists does not become clear. For example: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2012-October/date.html -> two announcements about Changes to the Packaging Guidelines That's a very specific topic for the "Announcements related to the Fedora Project" list, isn't it? The same posts have been sent to devel-announce, too. Should they have been posted *only* to devel-announce perhaps? What is the target group of "announce" list? On the contrary, "Smolt retirement" has been sent to announce list only, but not to devel-announce. Same for "FAS update". It's strange that subscribing to the mandatory list, devel-announce, is insufficient. And e.g. Fedora Users, who subscribed to "announce" would receive announcements related to packaging guidelines. -- Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) - Linux 3.6.9-4.fc18.x86_64 loadavg: 0.06 0.04 0.05 -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
