Following the procedure doesn't mean that we take every list. We decide on several points:
- interest - are enough people interested in the list to make it worth the work - topic - is it on topic? l.d.o is usually about debian et all, which means that for example a generic -ci list is on-topic whereas salsa-ci is by far too special. - operating costs - some lists need more attention than others In general we want to provide a common listservice for generic topics affecting the whole project. Every list needs ressources (technically and resource wise), therefore we a picky on what we accept. Alex
