Andrew,
The dev@ mailing list is described on the Jakarts site[1] as:
The "Developer" lists where you can send questions and comments about
the actual software source code and general "development" types of
questions.
Making the developer list private is extreme and I would resist this
change. Their are many productive discussion on the developer list that
include non-committers or non-pmc members.
Are the posting to the developer list because the question is not
answered on the user list? If so, then lets address this problem first.
If not, then should the response to an user@ post on the dev@ list be
something like "You have posted this to the wrong list, please repost
this on the user@ list"

Is it possible to make dev@ a private mailing list, so only commiters
and people that PMCs decide should have access to post are allowed to
send emails to this list? That way we can reduce the accidental
posting to dev@ instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
