I think looking for various words can produce both false positives and false negatives. And you still won't catch everything. Using your abbreviated list as an example, there's no "perl", "open source", or kernel keywords.
Also, not all jobs are technical (marketing, sales, ...) Not that we've seen requests for these jobs, but we would be interested in them. If mailman would "score" messages for reviewers, then that might help. But reviewers might also get lazy and just click buttons rather than reviewing each article. Without a lot of AI, I think it would be more effective to just review each message. --Bruce Arc Riley wrote: > I believe it's easy enough to setup mailman to require "Linux" in the body > of the message.
