Please keep this on devel as well. I don't have time to add another list
to my chores. We need one (1) list that can be subscribed to, on which
important traffic like this can be discussed. Multiplying the lists that
_must_ be subscribed to, in order that I may be a contientious maintainer
is simply crap, that fractures the group and keeps some segment of the
maintainership uninformed. This lack of an informed membership is, in my
estimation, a primary reason for all the confusion and conflict that is
currently comming down about such things as new-maintainer.

Please don't do this!

Thanks,

Dwarf
