Having the named newbies channel send many, many messages with kernel patches is intimidating to new people (and somewhat spammy) which makes it harder to convince my team to sign up for the list. At the same time, I've appreciated being able to see what's happening on patches as well as questions and discussions. Would it make sense/be possible to create a mailing list for the maintainers file and discussions on patches that is separate from the newbies channel? I have to say, the newbies channel is the only newbie friendly kernel mailing list I've seen, and it's a big part of why I pushed for my company to use XDP over DPDK. --Zvi
