We do mention it at http://www.php.net/mailing-lists.php
I'll post the mailing list guidelines here as well, as it is good to
remind people every now and then:
* Use a valid email adress. Every new poster's email address is
checked for validity through confirmation.
* Send plain ascii messages, no HTML-formatted emails please.
* Turn on wordwrapping so your entire message doesn't show up on a
single line.
* No attachments please, just post a URL if you want someone to look
at something.
* Don't gpg/pgp sign your messages. If you want people to be able to
send you encrypted email, stick your key-locator in your .sig
* Don't hijack other peoples' threads. To post on a new topic, start a
new message, don't reply and just change the subject.
* Check the archives before posting a question, chances are it has
already been asked and answered a few times.
