Hi,
if the information "everyone that is an ASF committer and wants to help
out can _subscribe_ to infrastructure@" would be more widely
disseminated, I'm pretty sure that more people will come. :-)
At least to me, this was not clear until a few minutes ago.
I just subscribed.
Regards
Henning

"Fighting for one's political stand is an honorable action, but re-
fusing to acknowledge that there might be weaknesses in one's
position - in order to identify them so that they can be remedied -
is a large enough problem with the Open Source movement that it
deserves to be on this list of the top five problems."
