SF was a decent attempt at application development community back when
I joined it in 1998 or whenever it was...  Unfortunately, it has never
made any sort significant improvement since that time.   So I am sure,
not having looked at the admin interface for many years, that there is
no way to do any kind of auto response to anything.

I've come to the opinion that for ANY possible positive exposure that
SF could possibily generate there is at lease as much or more negative
baggage that comes with that.

Any newbie to SF might easily be confused with the clutter and cruft
of its presentation/navigation or !worse! end up downloading spyware
pretending to be Mixxx from one of SF's advertisers on OUR pages (I
have screen shots of this kind of crap from SF's adverts) ...

If there is a way we could move the mailing list + code off to either
lauchpad or google code, we would be much better off to do that and
open an admin ticket with SF to rm -rf mixxx from their site.
