Ugh, no. You need to have a mailing list AND a webform. The whole idea behind -marketing-submissions is for it to cover both, as I have explained several times. > > I would like the mailing list to be used for receiving the web form's > input, and members to propose and discuss news, so everybody else > knows about it and can add it to their project if they find it > interesting. If spam did not exist I would agree with you. So better to have two lists, one to collect the original sending with a reply-to to the 2nd list, the actual main discussion list. > I believe the news team should actually be a team itself, instead of > focusing on each project, where, for example on the UWN, there's just > really Corey, Nick and me as regulars, and some sporadic > contributions.

Ok, thus from this we end up with four lists: ubuntu-marketing -Remains the discussion point for the marketing team ubuntu-news-team -Discussion point for the new -news team ubuntu-news -Remains the sending point for the UWN and FullCircle, plus other news (this is merely for the actual sending of the news, the distributiion) ubuntu-marketing-news-submissions -Changes name slightly and becomes the primary focal point for all inboudn information, either for the UWN, the Fridge or other marketing and news projects. Lumped together so as not to confuse people.
