I have seen no real opposition for the creation of the -project mailing

-project in the first place) so how about we just get that mailing list
going right no and let the rest of it fall into place later. My guess is
that if we would have had -project for ages, the need for moderating
-dev would have never come about. I bet there are devs who have talked
about creating this kind of a list months, even years ago. This time
it's not about show me the code but show me the mailing list!
I'm not sure on the history of a non-technical ML itself, but I cooked up the
idea of gentoo-politics originally, thinking the similarly-themed debian ML was
debian-politics. After a debian developer pointed out that it was actually A)
debian-project, and B) He intentionally stays off that list (obviously for good
reason), I figured the name and non-requirement for developers was most
appropriate for our needs as well.
Hence, Bug #181368 was born.
And apparently, so was "ML Changes". Guess the doctor neglected to mention that
I was having twins, and that one of them was gonna grow up to be overweight and
ugly, yet incredibly hot.
Healthcare really has gone down the drain here in the UDG, hasn't it? (United
Developers of Gentoo). Anyone care to recruit Moore as a developer?
Anyone???
