17 Thanks for getting back on this one. Did you know there is a mailing
18 list called "xvendor", hosted by openwall and established in 2002, that
19 seems to have a similar focus [1]? It has been dead for the last months
20 and years though, with an intended revival some days ago.
21 Having duplicate lists for this purpose seems counter-productive to me,
22 maybe you can arrange a merger with the xvendor folks?

24 Regards,
25 Robert
