Your rational is a bit off or can be understood incorrectly in how the |
33 |
current rules go. Discussion should happen on the on topic mailing list |
34 |
(most of the time gentoo-dev or gentoo-project). gentoo-project is only |
35 |
used to submit threads to the agenda regardless of where the discussion |
36 |
happens. gentoo-dev-announce can be used to draw attention to important |
37 |
things. How do you propose people decide if something is gentoo-council |
38 |
material or do we go back to the situation where threads get fragmented |
39 |
to multiple mailing lists? If actual discussion happens elsewhere than |
40 |
gentoo-council then I don't think we need a separate mailing list just |
41 |
for handling agendas etc. Finally I think gentoo-project / gentoo-dev |
42 |
reach a wider audencience but we should get verified numbers from infra. |
