25 How many users are subscribed to the gentoo-dev-announce ML? The
26 very name suggests that this is development announce, not something
27 related to our users.
28
29 We already duplicate Last-rites messages to gentoo-dev ML, why not
30 add gentoo-user here too? Why do we need to duplicate Last-rites on
31 gentoo-dev in the first place? I suppose there are two reasons:
32
33 1) even not all devs are subscribed to gentoo-dev-announce;
34 2) this is a moderated list, which creates some delays.
35
36 Best regards,
