Hmm ... seeing as most decisions seem to be made on IRC, patches are only accepted if they are attached to bugs in the BTS, and evidently it's some great sin to ask a question here, what exactly IS the purpose of this mailing list?
Or is Robin just special? I would imagine that if there are any archives of this mailing list that people can search that the number of flagrantly ignorant questions would go down.
