A while back, we we were promised an email channel for gentoo-proxy
folks that did not get on well with IRC. It never materialized,
The mail alias [email protected] (same alias as proxy-maintainers@)
has 22 people on it. It was created 2013/09/26.
The list [email protected] was created 2016/05/29.
I don't see much usage of it, nobody has emailed since August.
https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-proxy-maint/
The request for it was filed and tracked here:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581370
How exactly is that never materialized?
I subscribe on 6/23/2016::

Hi, this is the Mlmmj program managing the
<[email protected]> mailing list.
Somebody (and we hope it was you) has requested that your email address
<[email protected]> be added to the list, without mail delivery. This
means you will not receive any posts to the list, but you are considered
a member. This means, for instance, you are able to post to a list which
only subscribers may post to, while you follow the list using a web
archive or another subscribed email address.
To confirm you want to do this, please send a message to
<gentoo-proxy-maint+confsub-nomail-75dc5ad5188e6314-garftd=verizon....@lists.gentoo.org>
which can usually be done simply by replying to this message. The subject
and the body of the message can be anything.
After doing so, you should receive a reply informing you that the operation
succeeded.
And here is the reply::
gentoo-proxy-maint+confsub-nomail-75dc5ad5188e6314-garftd=verizon....@lists.gentoo.org

So I just now sent email to :
[email protected]
NO answer on this attempt. ON this page::
https://www.gentoo.org/get-involved/mailing-lists/all-lists.html
All I see is: gentoo-proxy-maint
Am I subscribe? Did I miss the exact syntax to get subscribed?
Perhaps [email protected] needs to be listed with the rest of
the mailing lists?
let's see if that one goes through (nothing after 10 minutes).
My goal is to read that list and publish documents on what is exactly
needed to get dev status. I think it's not a good idea to force folks to
use irc to learn about proxy-maint, get help on ebuilds when you need it
so there should be a nice set of document and tests one can work
through, without intervention. Then take the quizes and be treated like
an outcast for a while, before being able to work the portage tree. I am
not interested in anything core to gentoo. I am extremely
interested in building minimized cluster ebuilds and wrapping them up
in stage-4s for ease of installation. Really, nothing threatening at all.
I already finished up both quiz, including the second(exit) one, but
there was a few question that were incomplete.
That was all right befor Goktuk did his revision work, so I'd like to
answer the updated quized, as most of the questions, when I answered,
were not even up to EAPI-5. Where are the quiz questions.
Oh yea, I emailed those quizes timely to one of the devs I was working
with, and got no answer. (sorry, not going to identify that dev). So I
prefer to answer the latest quizes; you guys can figure out who I should
send those to.
I never got any mail from the list. I could see a few postings via
gmane.org. Sure, gmane is mostly dysfunctional now. I never saw or any
information on the second list....
