IMO, the current FESCO's decision to kill "maintainers@" is as wrong as their predecessor's decision to not make subscription to "maintainers@" mandatory to all "package maintainers". > If you have a better > solution for lists to actually serve the needs of the community, please > propose it to FESCo. I would keep maintainers, but make subscription mandatory to all maintainers and "kill all *announce lists". Alternative would be to kill all "devel/testing lists" in favor of one single list all maintainers and devs can not avoid being subscribed too.
