Yo all!
Whoever caused this (below): please respect a few simple rules regarding
email in general and email in the Debian project:
- write in the From: header, or at least in some signature, who the
originator of the mail was. Espeically when some 'I' writes that he did
something.
- Priority: List or Bulk or whatever for bulk messages
- announcement messages to some announcement mailing list - why could this
mail not go to d-d-a?
Yes, I'm slightly annoyed. (All the more since I do not even use alioth at
all...)

From: Mailer <noreply@alioth.debian.org>
To: Probably all Debian accounts?

Since Alioth seemed to be an often mentioned service here at DebConf5
I took the time to do some work on it in between talks and the
occasional drink. Alioth is sufficiently non-trivial to make the
upgrade somewhat interesting, but the end result seems to be a nice
improvement. The major noticable changes are:
* upgrade from woody to sarge, which also allowed for:
* postgres tuned, should be faster now
* LDAP tuned, should be faster now
* email configuration improved
* mailman upgraded to 2.1
I did notice that a number of users are running crontabs that do not
check if they are already running, which in some situations
resulted in a dozen copies of the same crontab running in parallel.
Please fix that since it needlessly loads the machine. From now on if
I notice people doing that I will disable their crontab access
until they fix their scripts.
