It is fascinating to me that when users figure out how to submit a bug on our Bugzilla, it is likely closed as an user support question, usually with a remark that the support lists be used.
Bugzilla was (is??) a real pain. As an ordinary user, it was never clear what many of the categories meant. I eventually gave up and simply worked round bugs (if no help was possible from the list).
Hah!
Indeed.
Meanwhile, I completely support seeing if there is a secure way to implement Marco Fieretti's technique for pseudo-subscribing unsubscribed users. I don't have the chops for that, but I would certainly like to see someone who does and can work with ASF Infrastructure to do it.
Marco and I don't agree on the "right" way (if indeed there is any such thing), but I fully support the basic idea of an auto-responder. Others differ, I know. I see the switch to Apache as a good time to set such things in motion.
I did mention elsewhere about gatewaying between the list and a web forum, which might offer possibilities, but would be harder. One could do both!
