Then I'll say "good bye" already - when the alias vanishes, so does my subscription to the OOo-related mailinglists.

You'll definitely loose some subscribers - whether they are "important" for the future of the project is of course on another plate, and as people need to subscribe tot different lists anyway, the loss might be bigger because of having to resubscribe, than because of loss of the alias. Bugzilla is more likely to be a problem, at least you can dump all needmoreinfo issues filed in OOo-times, as requests for more info will not be forwarded anymore, and thus you won't receive a reply (too many people don't reply even when the mail reaches them, so again not sure about the actual impact) > [....] ciao Christian
