derby-dev seems to have developed a curious habit of sometimes naming specific individuals in the subject line of posts. I find it a bit jarring and suggest that we stop doing this. --Feel free to disagree and post so we can discuss.
Naming somebody directly in the subject might inhibit others from contributing, thinking that somehow the named individual "owns" that topic. Even if that individual *does* own some aspect of that topic, for example is a known subject matter expert or has assigned him or herself to a Jira issue, then it might make that individual feel cornered. Instead, think up a really snappy Subject line that is sure to get the attention of all the "right" parties. Don't forget that these posts live in the Apache mail archives forever and also get mirrored at www.nabble.com, news.gmane.org, and who knows wherever else. -jean
