According to the bug on -project (which I was CCed to), both it and dev- |
| 18 |
announce have been created. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
New developers are announcements. The primary announcement should |
| 21 |
therefore go to dev-announce, x-posted to dev, with followups going to |
| 22 |
-project, since the followups are neither announcements nor dev-technical |
| 23 |
and thus don't belong on either dev-announce or dev. |

Similarly here, the additions-removals initial post should go on dev- |
| 35 |
announce (x-posted to dev, of course, as anything there should be, so |
| 36 |
those that choose to can read only dev), with replies sent to dev. |
| 37 |
Additions-removals doesn't get many replies, but last-rites mails are in |
| 38 |
the same category and do. Replies to last-rites are dev material. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Do note, however, that when a last-rites is actually canceled, that's an |
| 41 |
announcement that then belongs on dev-announce (xposted and followups to |
| 42 |
dev). |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
That's my take on it, anyway. |
