Re: Strong objection to draft-ietf-WG-*.all noise levels

I was not understanding the problem, until I got 5 copies of the same notice about a draft this morning. The notice was explicitly sent to draft.all, the working group, and the working group chairs. So .all sent one to the chairs, the explicit chairs listing sent one to the chairs, and of course the chairs are on the working group list.

So part of the problem is that both chairs and the working group got listed in the notify line: Send notices to: ggx@xxxxxxxxx, draft-ietf-lisp-introduction.all@xxxxxxxx, lisp@xxxxxxxx, lisp-chairs@xxxxxxxx

Since I doubt that my co-chair made that change, I presume tooling did so. But listing the chairs and the working group is not actually helpful in most cases (I can imagine corner cases, but ...)

So I am not sure how it produced 5, but there does seem to be some truly unnecessary duplication here.

Yours,
Joel

Besides the email you just sent, where is this documented?

We're working on both help pages for the aliases with this information,
and pages that will let your search/inspect the generated aliases.  They
will be part of the next datatracker release.

A newbie  should be able to easily learn of these addresses and where
they go.

At a minimum, I suggest replicated the relevant parts of the text you
just sent on the page:

    http://www.ietf.org/id-info/

Sound reasonable, I guess.  I'll Bcc the secretariat on this email.


Regards,

	Henrik
