Umm while this sounds like a good idea initially, why are you trying to make PHP a closed development project? This maneuver will make it lots more difficult to get any new developers in on the project, and for those with one time questions to pose them. A moderated list might be a

I've been thinking about this. What is really needed is some way to send automated 'get lost' messages without requiring a list moderator. These messages have got to be real easy to send to make this work. How about this: set up a list (php-dev-spam, say) that isn't archived or advertised

I ask a simple question: how many more unsubscribed hard working developers does it take before we realise that we need to ban certain people, and make php-dev (or it's brother) subscribers only, and closed subscription? - We need a place for developer discussion which is not interupted by
