Totally agree Daniele. I don't know how other people experience the group, but I actually didn't see the email address, and didn't even look at the URL. If we can find where the email is exposed (say on a website) and change things to hide it as much as possible, e.g.:
Instead of : Email the Django Contributors group here: [email protected] Say : Email the Django Contributors group <[email protected]>. That might help. Maybe a note in the description to say that for historical reasons, if you want to email a new topic to the group the email address is [email protected]?
