Dear Cabal authors, if your package is team maintained and you put in a mailing list as the “Maintainer” contact of your package, that is in general a good thing. But if you do so, please make sure the list is not set to subscriber only; it is an unreasonable burden to subscribe for people who just want to send you one question, and possibly have to contact dozends of different package authors, e.g. as a distribution packager.
Thanks, Joachim (Who really thinks that using the subscriber-only setting of mailman as an anti-spam-measure is an abuse of the feature, and that mailman should offer a “non-subscribers get a bounce that allows them to approve the message themselves“ feature which would give the same spam protection but much less hassle for the users.) -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nome...@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: nome...@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
