fine with me, we can implement it as suggested. > * without lists. is more intuitive, shorter, and prettier, to me and that is a good reason to force everyone else to switch to a different address? here is the statistic from okt/nov/dec 2010: r...@opensc-project:/var/log/syslog# grep "to=<opensc-de...@opensc-project" 2010-1* |grep -v NOQUEUE |grep status=sent |wc -l 92 r...@opensc-project:/var/log/syslog# grep "to=<opensc-de...@lists.opensc- project" 2010-1* |grep -v NOQUEUE |grep status=sent |wc -l 521 92 mails to opensc-devel@ and 521 to opensc-de...@lists.. further analysis even shows even less mails to opensc-devel@ : r...@opensc-project:/var/log/syslog# egrep `grep "to=<opensc-de...@opensc- project" 2010-1* |grep -v NOQUEUE |grep status=sent |cut -d" " -f7 |cut -d: - f1|xargs echo |sed -e "s/ /|/g" ` 2010-1* |grep from= |cut -d" " -f8 |sort | uniq -c |sort -r -n -> 8 from andre.zepezauer, 6 from martin, 4 from ludovic, 4 from alon, 2 from viktor, 2 from s4ms0n0v, 4 from "no-reply" and "donot-reply", 2 from gmane. so we are talking about 26 emails by 6 people. wouldn't it be easiest to ask those 6 people, all well known contributors to opensc, to use the right email address? At least I completely fail why changing the email address that everyone else uses properly for years is any good. why ask hundreds of users to change their email settings (mail filters, contact lists, address books etc.) only because of you like one form more than the other. and for me the whole argument about the length of the email address is rediculous. these days I click on a mailto: link on the web page and start typing the email. the only time I ever enter an email address, is when I have a new contact on the phone and they tell me their address. at least it is this way for me, and I do think that about everyone works this way these days. so with this statistic, is there any reason not to simply remove the aliases for the old names and send a mail to those 6 people and ask the to update their addressbook?
