+1 for a podlings@ alias. But what could you possibly want with a podlings-private@ ? We are expected to keep private to a minimum, typically involving individuals or security issues, and I fail to see how that can apply to 50 or so very disperse projects, that changes over time. So I am -1 on that, until I hear some reasonable justification.
The pmcs@ alias is IMHO a bad alias and should be changed to go to dev@. Way back in time, we had p...@foo.apache.org and the pmcs@ came out of that naming. BUT, we later recognized that pmc@ was being overused. The name invited that overuse and we changed it to private@ to signal its intent, but pmcs@ was left behind...
