I'd personally prefer that all of the sponsorship-requests bug traffic
still go to this list. The primary reasons are:
1) People who sponsor are already subscribed to -mentors
2) Problems with RFS require mentoring and are discussed on -mentors
3) Random sponsorship requests that don't get into the BTS go to -mentors
4) Those who don't want to receive BTS mail can trivially filter it out
4a) I don't actually know who would want to be subscribed to -mentors
but not to sponsorship-requests
That said, if the consensus is that -mentors subscribers but non
sponsorship-requests subscribers is large enough to warrant having
everyone who wants to receive both subscribe to a new list, I'm ok
with doing the work to change the maintainer address. [But I don't
want to change it back after I've changed it... so please decide once
and for all.]
I'll just try this selectricity poll for now so we don't get billions
of votes here:
