You can't quantify "contributions" in any easy way. And it's going to get pretty ugly if you start telling generally useful people they can't be on the list simply because you don't want to reduce the OT posting. We all understand the fedora-devel list is for developers, and technically you can restrict write access to people with a certain level of access. But at what cost? I test rawhide on various hardware, so I'm not technically a fedora developer, but I'd like to think that my meager testing and occasional bug reports do more good than harm to fedora. Restriction still will not solve your problem of somebody spamming a personal gripe into the list, even developers aren't immune to that from time to time so your cost benefit ratio isn't great, probably negative. What we have here is one person spamming the list with a personal gripe. No amount of policing the list can ever stop this from happening. The problem here was only caused by those of us (myself most definitely included) who responded to an off topic posting. Besides, an open devel process, even with a few warts, is better than a closed elitist one. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
