BTW, if you maintain that the list config is immutable, then my
suggestion would be to shut down cvs@ and route commits to d...@. This
way we don't place unnecessary barriers to discussions around commits.
If folks can't live with the commit traffic, they shouldn't be on
dev@ in the first place... -- justin
That makes it impossible to find discussion related to specific
pieces of code by searching the archives of the discussion list.
No thanks. As I said, if you don't like the bounces, then the
commits configuration can be set to black-hole misdirected messages
that have d...@httpd on the to/cc list. That way, none of us have
to delete them twice.
1) Bounces are lame. Personally, since this irks, I simply choose to solve
this issue by not repling to cvs@ posts b/c I know it happens and its annoying.
2) I'm involved in _several_ communities, as most of us here are. Both
inside and outside the ASF. The Rule as documented on at least 50% of them is
to always Reply-To-All so that non-subscribes that 1-off post get replies.
3) CVS/DEV at lists serve a purpose. Many people choose digest, or RSS, or
god knows what for c...@. Its good for that to be commits only.
4) See # 3 above; that said, in other projects, though I don't seem to mind it
there, the reply-to-alls do go through to the cvs@/commits@ lists.
Now, I don't care where we end up too much if at all, but bounces must go, its
just as bad to delete a bounce as it is a dup. Not to mention the bounces
come to my INBOX rather then a folder.
