I hope that listmasters will agree that this is not the case any more. > That said, I would also note that > current -general list is closed to subscribers, while debian-gis > would be open to the world (as generally done for all listmasters lists), > with obvious consequence for subscribers about spamming... The pros and cons are heavily discussed in the past and I do not think it makes sense to repeat this discussion. I personally get about one or two mails per month from each mailinlist @l.d.o thanks to the spamfilters the listmasters applied (thanks to the effort of listmasters!) and local SPAM filters. That's IMHO acceptable. I take your mail as somethink like "it is fine for me to create the list if you care for it" and thus I hope the mailing list can be created soon. Question to listmasters: Is it possible to take over the content of the list archive of pkg-grass-general to debian-gis archive? I guess the different listservers might make this hard and I do not really want to put this on you. But if there would be a reasonable way to do this it would be probably a good idea.
