Hi Georg, It’s not about limiting, more about the purpose of the committers@ list. That list isn’t something people choose to be part of specifically and, as previously said, isn’t a forum for discussion - so not abusing/inundating it is important. I don’t believe we have an alias/list that reaches all contributors - so that is a moot point really. Niall > > Best, > Georg > > -- > Georg Link > (he/him) >
