Hello, now that our BTS driven sponsorship request tracking seems to be widely adopted and used, we finally finished the final step. Most of us seemed to like and prefer the BTS driven approach, but we found the control traffic useless and noisy for a discussion list. Hence we originally tried to convince list masters to filter out control traffic on the server side [1], but we came out with a new solution [2] which went live now. Here is a summary of the current working functionality: 1) debian-mentors@l.d.o is and will remain the home of all packaging and mentoring related questions. Sponsorship requests and following discussions are automatically forwarded to this list 2) package-sponsorship-requests@l.d.o [3] will track /all/ sponsorship requests messages but is not thought as a discussion list. It will act as an owner of the sponsorship-requests [4] pseudo-package and will collect all sponsoring related messages, including control messages, for archiving purposes. This means: You do not need to subscribe to a new list if you are a debian-mentors reader, all relevant (human contributed) content will be forwarded to that list, but the complete noise^W^W^W^W^Winformation is available through package-sponsorship-requests@l.d.o only. If you prefer to get all of it, subscribe to that list as well. Thanks for all involved people for their help.
