So, people who remain on the debian mailing lists have a poor understanding of what should appear a good mailing list, but having those same people express their opinion about what is good on a mailing list will improve matters? In short, we are going to use the "buggy" list memberships's views to repair the lists? Why would it do that, rather than form a feedback loop and further divide the lists, encouraging the "vocal minorities" to engage in anonymised risk-free backstabbing of each other? Are you proposing a simultaneous "come back and rate the mailing lists" campaign or some other action to activate the "silent majority"? > one authoritative way of calculating it, which can become "official", > and used to develop procedures for warning the offensive posters that > their behaviour is considered disruptive, for example. So this is even suggested to become a type of Whuffie?
