And some core packagers may be uninterested in extras. Ok, so there is some overlap between fedora-extras-list, fedora-maintainers and fedora-devel, but maybe it is unavoidable. fedora-extras-list is for those interested in extras, fedora-devel for those interested in core and fedora-maintainers for those interested in both, but then it isn't a surprise that it is mostly silent. It is even strange that there is more than annoucements. Anyway if every extra contributor should be subscribed to that list, it should be said there: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Contributors#head-53aea28748f7f8172082faefbad5b3f9788c4236 and the mailing list should appear here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate#head-e515a6e891efe6e2f1c8faa0434f8b5422510668 > The list could be used however for announcements to maintainers. > Right now -extras is high volume and I for one don't have the time to > really follow the list. Still we are volunteer, so it is not a problem if it isn't possible to read everything. But it is a community project, so there are discussions about policy, and disagreements. My personal opinion is that things are kept constructive most of the time, but I may be biased, as I participate to the noise... -- Pat -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
