One problem is that of temporarily unsubscribing. We've all regularly
seen what happens when someone goes on holiday for a few weeks and sets
their email to auto-respond "out of office" without unsubscribing from
these lists first.
When there are 4 commons lists, how are people going to manage this?
I believe one commonly used mailing list system provides a web page
where you can "suspend" your subscriptions to all lists in one go. As
far as I know, though, the apache system doesn't provide this.
Don't use your work email for open source mailing lists :) I can only
see the out of office making sense if its a work email - otherwise I'd
expect people to continue checking their mail or just let it build up.
