Here are ones I can think of with their rationalization included. *.open-std.org -- for the C/C++ papers/defect reports github.com -- (for both the C++ defect report issues and other issues in general) *.llvm.org -- some new folks might cross reference llvm documentation, etc. wg21.link -- for C++ papers/defect reports quick links *.gnu.org *.sourceware.org *.nongnu.org (some mailing lists are linked from here; e.g. groff and autoconf) archlinux.org redhat.com gentoo.org debian.org opensuse.org suse.com -- major distros (I didn't include them all here) freedesktop.org - wayland, etc. kde.org - dwarfstd.org - dwarf spec gnome.org - > > > > >> > >> Another option would be to implement moderation in Bugzilla [1] which both > >> Bugzilla instances would benefit from.
