Package: lists.debian.org
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Please create a debian-68k-build mailinglist. This mailinglist would
replace the one that is currently at [EMAIL PROTECTED], and is the
m68k porters' main point of contact.

Rationale:
* debian-68k@lists.debian.org, while originally created as the porters'
  mailinglist, is more of a user support mailinglist these days.
* At least one m68k porter has specifically refused to resubscribe to
  the debian-68k mailinglist, and use that as our main point of contact
  again.
* The nocrew.org mailinglist service does have a spamassassin
  installation, but it doesn't actually block spam mails; as a result,
  the archives are rather convoluted, and subscribers need to throw away
  a lot of mail themselves, too.
* The fact that there is no porters mailinglist on lists.debian.org
  (while there is a [EMAIL PROTECTED]) has confused _many_ Debian
  Developers in the past; it wouldn't be the first time that someone
  asks for a rebuild on debian-68k, which is not the right mailinglist
  for such requests.

Alternatively, and perhaps better, it would be a good idea to create a
new mailinglist [EMAIL PROTECTED], move the current
subscribers of debian-68k to that list, and leave debian-68k open for
m68k porter use. This option, however, should of course not be chosen
without contacting the debian-68k list itself beforehand.

Thanks,
