This is how I was envisioning it, something akin to the apache-modules list.
I have an unusual scenario with a VFS module. I'm not confident at this point if it's a bug or the details are too vague to submit it as one, however it'd be nice to ask other module developers if they've experienced it as well. As far as the traffic, I think it benefits the VFS list more than samba-technical. If someone were to post an API question to samba-technical, I fear it'd be missed by the casual VFS developer who is more apt to answer it because they don't follow all regular samba-technical discussion. Or worse, a potential human resource lost by posting VFS questions and asking to respond via email because he/she doesn't want to subscribe. I understand the feeling of Yet Another List and wish I could do more with providing or managing it.
