Hi,
Initially it seemed to me that I am about the only one sticking with mailing 
lists.
And I personally feel like a too small contributor to really try to influence 
your
decisions too much. But these recent hand full of mails all tell me that I am 
not
that alone. I personally did contribute to several projects during the past 
years.
All that only in part time, thus it had to be *very* efficient for myself. And 
that is
something that I achieved by a consistent 'interface' to all those projects. 
Just
my widely used and highly convenient mail client. So, all that worked in a 
sufficiently
efficient way because I could combine this kind of 'work' even with my private 
mail
that I could handle in between with that single 'interface'. So going to any 
web site
there is already a detour and having multiple of them for each such project 
gives an
even longer detour. Okay today it's mostly mesa that is left as well as a 
communication
middle end used in vizsim applications. But going away too far away from a 
mailing list
will be mostly a loss of efficiency for me.
As I said, my two cents, that should not keep you all from doing changes that 
finally
increase your all efficiency ...

best

Mathias




Hi,


I have to add my voice here as well.

Even though I do not feel able to give review for most of the mesa code base,
I appreciate to have all patches in the mailing list in my mail client.

From time to time, I give feedback for some set of patches, for example when I see patches related to dri3 or that could impact Nine.

It also enables me to get an overview of all the recent works and new features Nine could use.

I feel like if most patches go through MR without getting a mail feedback, I would not be able to do those as efficiently.

I would appreciate if I could *flag* some files or directories, and when a MR impacts those (for example dri3 files, gallium interface, gallium Nine, etc), I could get an automated mail with a summary of the MR, in order to encourage me to look at it.


Yours,

Axel
