This is no real basis for trying to improve anything. I'm not here to fight for anything. If you put it as if I'm the only one, who thinks that the many lists and their purpose is confusing, well, then let's stop. To have two lists about Rawhide (even for the build reports) is the most fundamental mistake already. > I think we wind up with more posts that we think would be appropriate > for users@ than devel@. > > To me, at least, test@ has a very clear and specific purpose which is > quite different from devel@, So "very clear" that "qa-devel" has been split off early this year, after the Fedora QA trac notifications had caused a flood of posts to "test" list. > and I'd fight with tooth and claw any > proposal to 'merge' them.

Moving all Rawhide topics, build failures, build report, package version upgrade annoucements, ABI breakage announcements, Branched report, Rawhide report, from devel to test list would be the way to go. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
