The Jira ticket for mailing list creation was filed by Justin -- and it looked to me like that was where the glitch arose. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-10632 I figured that having managed to contact Justin and confirm that he was OK with deep-sixing issues@, that was enough -- since I didn't think anyone else was invested in issues@. And I filed the ticket quickly because it's cleaner if we don't end up sending any mail to the list that's about to go away. I didn't realize that Greg had actually been the one who had performed the task of getting the lists set up, fulfilling Justin's request. If I'd thought there might be people invested in issues@ other than him, it would have been better for me to go slower and gather opinions before acting. Marvin Humphrey
