Maybe have a single section with all email addresses and what their purpose is. If an email address is mentioned in isolation, the temptation is to just use that without reading the surrounding text carefully. And even if the list does not appear to be quite right, if one has not found any other address then one might assume it is OK to use. When the addresses are listed together, it's much easier to choose the correct list. > [1] https://community.apache.org > > > On Tue, Jan 11, 2022 at 8:37 PM Paulo Motta <pauloricard...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > Hi everyone, > > > > I would like to follow-up on this topic, given the recent student seeking > > GSoC information in the mentors list <ment...@community.apache.org>. > > > > I would like to hear your opinions on creating a mixed student and mentors > > list <g...@community.apache.org> for ASF-wide mentors to advertise > > projects > > to potentially interested students, as well as taking general questions > > about ASF participation in GSoC. > > > > If there's interest I can volunteer to set up the list with ASF Infra, and > > work with Maxim to set it as a point of contact in ASF's GSoC page (< > > > > https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2021/organizations/5149287498907648 > > >). > > > > Kind regards, > > > > Paulo > > > > > > > > Em sex., 19 de nov. de 2021 às 13:32, sebb <seb...@gmail.com> escreveu: > > > > > On Fri, 19 Nov 2021 at 15:19, Paulo Motta <pauloricard...@gmail.com> > > > wrote: > > > > > > > > > Would it not be better to point to students@ ? > > > > > > > > Perhaps not if we want mentors to have visibility of prospective > > > students, since that list is restricted only to students afaik. > > > > > > There have not been many posts [1], but they are publicly archived so > > > I doubt it is restricted to students.
