At this point both current and stable testers lists contain
too little traffic to make them worthwhile to moderate both.

I propose;

  * create a single testers@ list with unsubscribe/info footers.

  * accepts posts from @apache accounts only

  * munge reply-to to [EMAIL PROTECTED] where their results may be
    reacted to promptly.  Even if they aren't dev@ subscribers,
    frequent reporters would be modded 'allow-from' and future
    moderation wouldn't be required.

  * initially merge/sort both stable and current testers subscript
    lists, pre-announce the change and announce it again after.

  * in the announce, remind folks this list is for pre-release
    candidate testing, and those that wish to stay abreast of only
    official releases should seek [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Post a second
    reminder to [EMAIL PROTECTED] altering folks to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    (and that there is nothing to do if they already were subscribed
    to current or stable testers).

Thoughts?

Bill
