I think there is no mailing list FAQ yet. Maybe it should be written and available from lists.debian.org > I do not know how this would interact with search engine weighting.

Well, I think it makes thing worse, but maybe things need to get worse before they start getting better. I really don't know. Maybe even having Debian be the first hit on "hot babes" can derive people that would be happily watching pXrn to contributing in an universal OS. Who knows BTW.
