My preference is that the subdomain chosen should succinctly reflect

the niggling fact that we're all volunteers.)
Once again - I don't know if it's not been clear enough so far, from
the replies on this topic: I don't have time nor desire to dig out
somewhere on the web what's the correct email I should use to contact
someone... there are about 200 more or less active Gentoo devs around
and the last thing I need is to ponder upon what project/role that
particular person is on. What's the benefit?
Perhaps you should re-read the GLEP? Or the log from the last two
Council meetings? Nobody is suggesting that devs should have their
e-mail addresses changed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The issue is what
e-mail address to give people who are helping out Gentoo but not
actually devs.
@g.o
Since these people are not going to be maintaining
But they are helping out Gentoo in a very direct way right?
packages, it seems unlikely that you're going to have to spend all that
much time trying to figure out how to contact them; just hit "r" like
you would with any other user.
It'd be more time than if it was just @g.o , that's for sure.
Incidentally, the benefit is to make users who are actively helping
Gentoo feel like they're part of the family.
That's why i said, give them @g.o
It was decided that a
straight @gentoo.org address would be confusing, though, since most
people associate those addresses with developers.
Let's write a GLEP to clarify that @g.o addresses is for people who
cooperates
(in a direct way) with Gentoo.
I'm fairly agnostic
on the whole thing, myself, but since the Council voted to approve the
GLEP, I was simply trying to do my best to put forth a proposal that fit
within that framework.
