True, I suppose. > Do we have (or need) a separate list to reach all (but only) > developers/maintainers of repositories that are part of the KDE > Applications releases? "kde-applications-devel" similar to > "plasma-devel" and "kde-frameworks-devel". Can branching/tagging still be posted to more of an "announce" list, maybe something like kde-devel-announce ? As an occasional contributor to kdepim I want to know when branching happens, without receiving lots of emails on kipi-plugins issues or whatever else would be discussed on a kde-applications-devel mailing-list (which sounds in fact like kde-devel). > I remember a recent developer doing commits to the master branches, > because he missed a notification that 17.08 was already branched. And yet he must have been on kde-cvs-announce, if he has a developer account, no? (iirc that's automatic). But maybe the branching hasn't been announced?
