According to the bug on -project (which I was CCed to), both it and dev- announce have been created. New developers are announcements. The primary announcement should therefore go to dev-announce, x-posted to dev, with followups going to -project, since the followups are neither announcements nor dev-technical and thus don't belong on either dev-announce or dev. >> Would package removals be on it because it seems to be somewhere in the >> middle? > > I think package additions/removals should stay there, since they are > development related, such as the removal due to bitrot or an unfixiable > security flaw, etc. > Such messages might also be candidates for the above mentioned > -dev-announce ML as well. Similarly here, the additions-removals initial post should go on dev- announce (x-posted to dev, of course, as anything there should be, so those that choose to can read only dev), with replies sent to dev. Additions-removals doesn't get many replies, but last-rites mails are in the same category and do. Replies to last-rites are dev material. Do note, however, that when a last-rites is actually canceled, that's an announcement that then belongs on dev-announce (xposted and followups to dev). That's my take on it, anyway. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
