I'd rather have an overall code of conduct... of which e-mail correspondence
is a small part. :)
IMO email is one of the most important medium through which we conduct
ourself in the community and from communication point or view it plays
the most important role.
I think it is a good idea to have mailing list guidelines (whatever we
agree upon) . Specially when the community is distributed and have lots
of non native English speakers.
I'll use Debian's an example:
https://www.debian.org/code_of_conduct
https://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct
I have gone through it. It definitely addresses the over all idea.
However I feel from Gluster point of view, we need more specific
guidelines. One of the reason is Gluster is not an old/mature community
as compared to Debian.
In addition, in a quick scan of the Fedora document, I find it feels stiff
and uninviting. Compare it to the Debian docs and you'll see what I mean.
Not that either community will tolerate you violating their norms. It is
merely how they express that sentiment.
My thoughts,

Hi All,
Since the volume of posts on our mailing lists seems to be steadily
increasing, I wonder if we should evolve guidelines for posting in the
lists along the lines of the Fedora one [1]. It could be useful for new
entrants in the community to understand our mailing list etiquette.
If we think it is a good idea to evolve this artifact and don't find
anything in the fedora guidelines objectionable, I would be happy to
port it for Gluster :).
Thanks,
Vijay
