Indeed: it should, in fact, be the Coordinator (as Outreachy defines that role, minus the fundraising aspects as I noted previously) that sends the message. Until one is appointed by the ASF, the person to send the message should be Gris. Yes, [email protected] should not be abused. It would be counter-productive to have a number of people helping by sending email to that alias. > Regards, > > KAM > > -- > Kevin A.
