Just my 2 cents regarding the mailing list: I personally don't mind mailing lists, I think they are an effective means of communication. That said, I have given up on reading through this list on a regular basis, for a simple reason: It is a really high-volume list, with dozens of emails on some days. The majority of those emails are not useful for non-programmers, because they talk about technical details we do not even understand. There are still many emails in there which are important to us, but I simply don't have the time to plough through all the emails I don't understand just to find out which ones are relevant for me. That's why I now focus only on review requests or bug reports where the VDG or usability team is explicitly added. I hope I catch most of the important stuff that way, but there are definitely important emails falling through the cracks and ending up unread in my plasma-devel folder (among 10.956 other unread emails at the time of this writing). Many in the Plasma team may assume that we read all emails on this list while in fact we don't, which will add to communication problems. Any ideas how we can fix this (and no, "please read everything on this list" is not an option, unless you grant us the gift of speed-reading or the manipulation of time)?
