If you go to lists.debian.org and click on the first link (introduction to Debian mailing lists), there's a Code of Conduct that includes, among other things: # When replying to messages on the mailing list, do not send a carbon copy (CC) to the original poster unless they explicitly request to be copied. # If you want to complain to someone who sent you a carbon copy when you did not ask for it, do it privately. # If you send messages to lists to which you are not subscribed, always note that fact in the body of your message. -- Michael A.
