I will show my ignorance of email here... When I receive the same email via a collection of mailing lists, my email client (GMail) deduplicates them and shows me a single message. This is actually a source of confusion when the lists have different levels of privilege/privacy...
So if we do a first round to collect which lists PMCs approve and then send a single email to all lists, will that not work? I truly do not know the answer to this question. I do think we should avoid direct-to-person emails. Kenn On Mon, Oct 28, 2019 at 7:25 PM Austin Bennett <[email protected]> wrote: > Patricia, > > That seems a straight forward infra/other issue.
