Hi,

change the mail  delivery mode, and pester everyone with their pleads? 

While I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, and a bit of 
self-righteousness goes a long way to strengthening the bond in a group 
sometimes, I think that different communities (and specifically the 
kernel community) have different ideas about what constitutes 
"low-volume" mailing lists. meego-dev is a high-volume mailing list, 
getting an average of 25 emails a day, and many people can't handle that 
much list email, in spite of wanting to contribute to the project. 

Now, someone's going to reply saying 25 emails a day is low volume. And 
indeed, most people active on this list are probably adept at dealing 
with between 100 and 1000 emails a day, in the same way that some people 
can handle being subscribed to a couple of hundred people on Twitter. 
Most people can't, and bearing that in mind might be useful. 

Using community mailing lists is not innate, it's learned. So sharing 
tips & teaching people to handle a higher volume of email (rather than 
complaining about the uselessness of such people) might be useful, no? 

Cheers, 
Dave.
