But then you have to subscribe also to debian-private, debian-vote or did this
list already die, it was there that important thing submitted to votes should
be discused, why now move this same discution to debian-project ? And i don't
speak about a lot of other lists that are also important like debian-news.
Perhaps we should open a debian-lists mailing list to discuss what list is
important and should be subscribed to ? :)))
