Hello. marc.info isn't updating for a couple week or so. I use Gmane. Have you looked at Review Board http://www.reviewboard.org/ ? It is maintained, written in Python using Django framework and, last but not least, MIT-licensed and integrates with CVS. >From my understanding, searching tech@ or bugs@ is not the problem, but following is. Diff or bug reviews done using mailing lists are inefficient: there is no place to see entire discussion against given issue. We all see how developers say "oh, I forgot about okaying on this diff". It is pretty "normal" to reinvent a diff which already has been done but lost deep inside mailing list. Also, there is a problem with attaching things like kernel panic screenshots. Alexey
