[I apologize for the stupid "reply all" that has put one of my messages
on debian-devel-announce]
Well, this seems doable and could stop errors. But I think, for all the
lists, we could make a *simple* step, improving the ratio signal/noise:
Send automagically to the new subscriber a small text explaining what
the list is designed for, how to behave and where to find the
informations. Example : debian-devel-announce is for the important
*announces* only; bring the *discussions* to the appropriate list.
Unfortunely, I have asked for such a "greeting page" for the debian-french
list, so that we can avoid having always the same questions, and so that
new subscribers could not say they don't know where to find the FAQ etc...
I have asked to:
listmaster -> no answer
devel -> no answer
Darren O. Benham -> immediate and friendly answer ; but Darren is not the
responsible for the list management
debian-amin -> no answer
Is there a way to have something done some day?
