Much of the patch-related traffic is autogenerated (including replies which automatically copy the subject), and the key for a topic is something in the subject (I think it's the usual "[TOPIC]" format). Then users only subscribe to one list, and from the user page in Mailman they can choose which topics to receive. By default they receive all. Of course there is a "no topic" topic for general traffic and people who are new to the list. Other than [patch] (ie, "patch review process"), an [issue] topic might be useful if tracker traffic is going to continue to be cc'ed to a (in this proposal, "the") mailing list. I guess you could also have a [help] topic for users who want to flag that they have a usage problem that they're pretty sure isn't a bug, but they don't know how to handle yet. If somebody wants to move a technical patch review or issue discussion to a more general "where do you want to go today?" kind of thread, they just remove the topic marker from the Subject. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list darcs-users@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
