Re: [gentoo-dev] Mailing list moderation and community openness

[Pengcheng Xu]

I can understand the need to reduce meaningless spams on the dev list,
but seems like general rejection of posts from non-developers would
distract the idea of this being an open mailing list: a list that one can’t
post to effectively decays to something like a bulletin board, and obviously
the developing process shouldn’t be kept in a showcase, which would greatly
discourage people who are not part of the dev team, yet still wanting to
get involved in the discussing, maybe even decision-making.
