I wasn't sure what infourl was used for. :) Is it supposed to contain structured data, or is it more of a "click here for more info" kind of thing? > > listaddress = linux-ker...@vger.kernel.org > > listid = linux-kernel.vger.kernel.org > > archive-url = https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel > > archive-contact = postmas...@kernel.org > > I think the keys should match what we use in the config file, at > least. So s/listaddress/address/ and s/archive-url/url/ Okay. > I'm not sure if "contact" is necessary if the aforementioned > "infourl" exists. My thinking is that with mirrors of mirrors of mirrors, if someone submits a GDPR removal request, then there should be an easy way of figuring out where these requests should actually go. Maybe infourl can cover this, but it's less likely to be set up than an email address like postmaster@. So, I'm in favour of keeping that in the info record. > > Does that sound sane? > > I think so.

I'm actually thinking the other way around -- only the 0.git (or whatever is the lowest number), simply because it's more likely to have that record. That is, unless you want to add functionality to automatically copy these from previous epochs on auto-rotation events. -K
