No, and I don't understand why you're coming up with possible uses for a mechanism that you've previously said should be eliminated. Perhaps the only way to eliminate the apparent "confusion" that people seem so adept at finding is to remove those addresses completely so that mail sent to them bounces. It's really very simple. There is one place for all general (i.e. non-security) submissions. These submissions shouldn't be made until they can be seen. They'll be seen once committed anyway. >Why should anybody want his submissions not to be seen? >The only case I can think of that should remain confidential until >officially announced are security fixes. These however should be >dealt with differently anyway. We have a [EMAIL PROTECTED] address for security-related issues, and an associated PGP key so that they can be encrypted if desired. This address of course has a very limited and closed distribution. See <http://www.xfree86.org/security/>.
