Hi, I know this was discussed before, yet I'd like to bring this up again.
At first, some facts: + We need a private list + We need to keep track of our commit logs + We don't know how long Chukwa will stay in Incubation Now, from the Incubator docs: "Commits under http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/${name} will be emailed to ${name}[email protected]. It is therefore recommended that the commit list is named ${podling}[email protected]. Any deviation will require special configuration in the asf-mailer file by the IPMC." During the proposal discussion phase, it was deemed practical that we'd change the mailing list names only once. I don't agree with that, in fact I think this will only generate more work. I'd like to propose that we now change all ML names to [email protected]. and change it to [email protected] on Incub. exit. This is a well-known, well practiced workflow and will work seamlessly. Since there is no need to re-subscribe etc. this will actually be small-overhead operations, compared to, for example, moving the website over or doing proper Incubator releases (and I recommend that all committers make themself familiar with the corresponding docs). In fact, it would emphasize that we are good Incubator citizens and makes it easier for Incubator PMC (IPMC) members to successfully do due diligence on Chukwa when vetting releases and exiting.
