Considering the discussion at debconf and in this thread, maybe the following (from a recent blog post of mine) could be a different starting point? * Encourage people to re-subscribe to debian-devel now that the traffic has been decreasing. Also contact people who take over threads with repeating, frequent messages or with agressiveness privately and request them to stop * Be more proactive in moving off-topic threads elsewhere and define on-topicness more sharply (e.g. development matters pertaining to more than one (or a few) packages) * Cut down ITPs somewhat by aggregating multiple similar ITPs into one message and using specialised teams (pkg-perl, pkg-games) if appropriate. Maybe also consider creating a new debian-itp mailing list where all ITPs get CCed to as well * Update our list (and more?) guidelines with a more steam-lined version, possibly using the GNOME code of conduct as a base Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
