If anybody knows of a bug or suspected bug in my code, I have no problem
in being copied in on mails so that I can see the issues exist. I do not
promise to respond to every mail I'm copied on, though, but it at least
helps me manage the fire hydrant.

I completely understand the problem of keeping up with the email lists.
Because you are a committer, I hope you will be able to monitor
post-commit feedback for patches you apply.  Other than that, I can
collect bug reports related to your work and ask you to review a web
page occasionally.  However, it is hard to do this during beta because
the bugs usually need to be addressed quickly.

If list traffic, especially on -hackers, is getting so large, should we look at maybe splitting it? I could easily enough split things such that I duplicate the subscriber list, so nobody would have to subscribe, but it would make it easier for ppl to filter their incoming ... ?

Not sure where the split would be, mind you ... almost thinking about patch review / discussions vs hashing out new features or something like that ...

Just a thought ...
