The mailing lists derive their power from being focused on specific topics. They relieve the subscribers from having to troll through voluminous amounts of mail to find those threads that are meaningful and relevant to them. With that said, pTLP and direct-to-TLP issues have no business being on the Incubator lists since they are not under the purvey of the Incubator. Using the same reasoning, pTLP and direct-to-TLP issues have no business being on the ComDev lists since they are not under the purvey of ComDev. It’s the 21st century and making, managing, subscribing, etc, mailing lists is no big deal. I propose that we create a list called percola...@apache.org for the purposes of shepherding all manner of “out of band” items such as pTLPs, direct-to-TLPs, future revolutions, etc. Regards, Alan
