Current problems as I see it:
-some people do not have the bandwith to download 90% uninteresting messages -cooker is too much a discussion club instead of a technical list. If you post a patch, people are first going to debate whether it is wortwhile of actually trying it. And the maintainer in question doesn't reply. I hope this would be improved with more categorized lists. Such a list would also be more useful for testing, since you'd expect that if you are on a KDE list, you are not to lazy to quickly rebuild and test a specific patch for KDE. I would even go so far as to propose the list being not freely accessible. So you can be removed if you are just there to talk about the fact that latest kernel really, really panics, also on your machine. d. >
