There are two primary reasons we use mailing lists: 1) Accessibility and 2) Archive. That is, 1) ensuring that everyone in the world, regardless of language, timezone, or quality of network, can participate; and 2) ensuring that we have a permanent record of the discussion for later reference. We didn't invent mailing lists, or even have any discussion about how it was to be done. That's just how things were done in 1994, and had been done that way for a decade leading up to that. We were standing on the shoulders of giants, and recognizing the already-acknowledged benefits. I don't see point two mentioned, but what you have written is fine. +1 to merging what you have. Possibly a mention of the archival nature of mailing lists would be warranted. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
