I must confess that I was somewhat taken aback by the initial split of lists - even though it is normal in many projects & also the issue with list load increasing is causing threads to get hidden (I read the group via the web). I think the main issue I have is the restriction on membership. I would personally open up membership of that group to all - I don't see that recognition is best done through that form...ultimately the changelogs & archived posts are sufficient but the who.html page is a nice bonus. Having people able to post to web2py-developers doesn't automatically mean that they have any extra say in the project - ideas are taken-up based on their merits & their implementability, as-always.
