The idea isn't completely new, but it's easier to carry out on say foo and foo-devel, where -devel gets [devel] tag by the software... We however have several subjects here, that's why i didn't propose this, as it's a bit awkward IMO. Especially libapt-front has a big long name, which makes it a bit impractical. However, something like [af-svn] [af-dev] [dt-svn] [dt-dev] [dt-voc] or a variation thereof *could* work... Currently, we get svn mail for libapt-front to -devel, which is a bit suboptimal in this case, too. Anyhow, for starters, [af-dev] and [dt-dev] would IMO be good enough, with additional [svn] for commits in the af case. Also, there was some sort of trick like subscribing one mailinglist to another, like debtags-devel subscribed to debtags-vocabulary. Well, just random thoughts :). Yours, Peter.
