The problem is that -maintainers was supposed to cut down on the traffic from -devel.[1] But a lot of people end up posting there because they think it'll be lower traffic and thus be seen, thus discussion ensues[2] and then it's too much traffic. Unless that changes, an -announce list is going to have the same problem. It's a sucky problem, but I really don't think more lists is the answer :-/ Instead, better and more consistent use of our existing lists. Jeremy [1] Which it mostly does... [2] And some of the discussion ends up being the badly needed clarification on a change and so people would have to wade into a thread _somewhere_ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
