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.
