Sorry, everyone, this was meant as a private message to
Laurent who asked all the OGB candidates on #opensolaris-meeting
some questions on this topic, but then I believe timezone
required he go idle. I wanted him to know that I had
responded. If I had meant for this to go to the alias,
I would've included this context.
That's what I get for typing faster than pine renders :-)

Hi Laurent -
In case you didn't stay logged into IRC, here was my response to
your question:
<bubbva> So, I am not sure how much, if any, view, the current OGB had in
this decision (I'm assuming none). That is probably part of the problem -
when these things happen without consulting the OGB, it's impossible for them
to register any thoughts on it.
<bubbva> On the first case of the @sun.com addresses being whitelisted, I'm
not against the idea of that, but do believe it should've been discussed in
the open on website-discuss before the change happened.
<bubbva> that would've been the perfect opportunity for folks to suggest also
whitelisting addresses like @opensolaris.org, and a compromise could've been
reached.

<bubbva> I don't like how this decision was made with lack of notification to
the community. You shouldn't have had to find out by trial & error.
<bubbva> I agree with lblume that it is not that hard to subscribe to these
aliases, so I don't think the barrier to entry is high enough to warrant
whitelisting.
<bubbva> Now the "bounce" messages from mailman when you aren't subscribed
don't look like traditional bounces and I know I've missed them recently, so
those could probably be improved.
<bubbva> On the topic of losing administrative rights to your alias: this is
the first I've heard of it. I would like to hear more about why this was done
- I know the site has been having problems, so I don't know if this is just
part of the investigation into that.
<bubbva> still, the decision to do this, even if only temporarily, should've
been discussed with the community, in my opinion.
Sorry for the formatting - it looked better in IRC :)
