OK, so I have forwarded a copy to Subversion's dev@ list. > I chickened out and used the (P)PMC catchall, as using the dev/user giant > list causes a ton of angry emails whenever it's used - I hope you can > understand :-) I respect your right to choose, but I don't understand why sending a reasonable request to a project's dev list would be a problem. Could it be that there was some other problem with the mechanism you are referring to -- perhaps it resulted in directly emailing each subscriber instead of going via their dev list? I would find it reasonable that some recipients would object to that. - Julian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
