As creating a list is a manual task, i've added "inform
kde-community@kde.org" to the list of steps involved in creating a
mailing list.
Some of these are necessarily manual anyway - like setting up Markmail
archiving.

Totally, what do you think about the automated email say something like

***
$PersonName created the list $ListName 
Description: $ListDescription

If you want to know more about it please ask $PersonName
***

And the email being sent to this list with CC to $PersonName so people can ask 
him in case she is not in this list?

We can certainly make it part of sysadmin procedure.
I'd still like to see the list requestor be part of the process though.

+1 for automating it. At the moment I don't see a reason why the creation of a 
new mailing list shouldn't be announced and if it's automatable let's do it. 
Then we don't forget it. What's the advantage of telling the requester to

They can provide additional information if they want after the automated 
email. Otherwise i'm pretty sure people are not going to send emails even if 
we tell them, but oh well, if we can't agree on automated emails i'll accept 
compromise on Kevin's suggestion.

Just to clarify: that is the case that I was trying to write about, in
my previous email. There is the possiblity in there to be missed. If
it is automated and it is generated automatically in the same step,
there cannot be such a miss occurring.

Even if it is not missed, it is still manual work to be done rather
than done automatically.

Having said that, as long as I am not involved (which is likely the
case as it currently seems), either works for me.

The person requesting the list will get a notification mail when the list has 
been set up.

So we just need to make sure that this mail contains text that says something 
like "Consider announcing the availability of your new list to the wider KDE 
community by posting an introduction to kde-community@kde.org"

+1.

If it is not automated, it will likely not be done properly as some
people will forget about it. It ought to be easy to implement, too.

We're the only ones who know about every list that is created yes.
However those requesting the new list will certainly be aware of it
have being created.

While we do request a description, sometimes people may want to
provide additional details on what the list is intended for.

But you're the only ones knowing that a mailing list has created. And as far 
as i understand there's a description field asked when requesting a list no? 
Could automatically send an email here saying "List X was created with 
description Y".

In some instances, the creation of a new mailing list (like a
bugs-dist list) would be noise.
I'd be in favour of the requestor(s) announcing the new list though -
so they could explain what the list would be used for.

If sysadmin ends up doing it we'll likely be unable to provide as
decent an explanation (as we're simply not as involved).

It would be nice if *somebody* announced them - could be sysadmin,
could be the new team, or the incubation team.

Hi guys, sometimes i realize some interesting discussions are being carried on 
mailing lists i didn't ever know they existed.

Do you think it'd be a good idea to ask sysadmins to send an email to this 
list every time a new public mailing list is created?

Cheers,
  Albert
