markyag-spgdji opened a new issue, #4057: URL: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/issues/4057
I was about to create file a new issue. I chose the "feature request" template, and it was pre-filled with the following: > **Warning!** > It is highly recommended to discuss feature requests in [the mailing lists](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/support.html) first. > > [A clear and concise description of the feature requested.] There are at least two problems here. ### The URL is old and leads to a Not Found page. The analogous URL these days is perhaps https://logging.apache.org/support.html Or if the goal is to direct the user to log4j-specific lists, then perhaps this page is better: https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.12.x/mail-lists.html But that page embeds a version in the URL which is awkward: if the template is not constantly updated then if the mailing list info ever changes then once again the template will be directing users to an old page. ### There is no guidance as to WHICH mailing list to use for discussion. There are at least 3 possibilities. 1. Log4j user list: I actually tried suggesting my feature there almost a week ago and got no replies. The list seems to be very low traffic. There are basically two kinds of posts. One is new release announcements. The other is a random user asking a question and getting no replies, neither from devs nor fellow users. The last time a dev replied to a question on this list was around June, I think. 2. Log4j dev list: this list seems more or less dead since 2017. I did not even try this one. 3. The "general" dev list. This one seems active. 4. I thought that by symmetry there should be a "general" user list, but can't find one. I don't think it's reasonable to expect people to 1. pick a list at random 2. send an email there 3. wait a few days with no response 4. pick a different list at random 5. repeat until no more lists -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
