I just checked and your name appears in the official web site as a committer, so you are a member of the team. But not everyone is going to check. You should not expect your users to go and read the Apache documentation. If I did that with every open-source project I use, I would not have time to do anything else. The NetBeans team needs to properly manage this mailing list. You need to clearly counter annoying comments. You need to isolate and if necessary remove onerous people. You need to clearly indicate who is an official team member and who is not, either with a project e-mail address, or with a proper e-mail signature. Otherwise, aggravating behaviour will quickly taint your reputation. If you are not prepared to do this, it could be better to close the mailing list until you can, or maybe move it somewhere where it is clearly labelled as "unofficial" or "users help other users". In my opinion, it is better to admit that the current team members are not looking much at the mailing list, or do not care too much about it, rather than giving a false impression about how the team communicates.
