This might be a bit a crazy idea, but what do people on -cloud think about moving vmdebootstrap development discussions from its Alioth list to debian-cloud@lists.debian.org? I have two reasons for suggesting this: better spam filtering, and more exposure to and feedback from vmdebootstrap users. A third, but admittedly weaker reason would be to have more cross-pollination between different image creation tooling. It seem to me that lists.d.o has much better spam filtering than Alioth does. I'd like to benefit from that. While I realize that not everyone on -cloud uses vmdebootstrap, and that vmdebootstrap is not only for virtual machines, I think -cloud has most of the users and as I gear up for making reasonably large changes, I think it would benefit development to get feedback from any planned changes as early as possible rather than only after the changes have been implemented and included in a new release of vmdebootstrap. Here's how I would implement this: * Change documentation to refer to -cloud instead of the Alioth list. * In the next upload, use -cloud instead of the Alioth list in the Maintainer field. This would mean bug reports come to -cloud as well. The Alioth list has been rather quiet, except for spam, so I do no expect a large amount of extra mail to -cloud. So, what do you think? Good idea? Bad idea? -- I want to build worthwhile things that might last. --joeyh
