Hi
I like reading all components' messages, but I think it is a good point to offer an alternative to others who wouldn't feel it was productive to receive messages from all components. What about keeping the commons-dev mailing list as is, and we ask infra to help us, by creating mailing list mirrors? Perhaps they could create filters in the server that would match the component name in the subject (e.g. [lang|LANG]) and deliver only those messages to subscribers? Replies to these mirrors would go to the commons-dev mailing list. This way we would remove the burden from users having to configure their e-mail clients/providers (when these support filtering) and offer an alternative for others. For others who need/like to read all messages it ill continue the same as before.
