Hello, David,
The situation that leads me to use a large CC list is when I am doing
something that affects all architectures. I could imagine keeping a
smallish CC list, then forwarding or bouncing the email to the remaining
maintainers Would that work reasonably, or is there some better approach?
Thanx, Paul
