Unless that list is automatically maintained as the union of all the dev list members, it seems like it will just make the process less transparent (since people who join xen-devel@ won''t know to join governance@ too and so will be left out).> vote@, committers@ and/or maintainers@ ?I don''t think there''s much use for separate committer/maintainer lists: anything the committers or maintainers want to discuss in public can just happen on the developer lists. There won''t be very much of it. Tim.
