I think it's worth considering the fact that new computer users are increasingly less likely to use email and are more likely to find email intimidating. I know a large number of people under the age of 20 who literally say things like, "email is only for password reminders and my Steam login code". It's not that they are non-technical or uninterested in technology, it's that specifically email is an unknown and unwieldy tool for them. When email is the only support venue, to a lot of folks that is unwelcoming. We should try to be as welcoming as we can here, but I think that Debian cannot hope to reverse that trend so if it wishes to remain relevant it should try to remove email workflows from all aspects of its use. I say this as someone who has had an email address since 1992 and has been using this particular email address since 1998. Thanks, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
