I get those emails more than once, but my MUA is smart enough to sort out the duplicates so it doesn''t bother me. I don''t want to speak for other people -- I can imagine it being quite vexing. But I think that having a separate opt-in list for this stuff (and so leaving people out of these discussions) would be worse than the cross-posting.> There may still be a case for an alias (not alist) that includes > maintainers, committers and project leads of all projects to discuss > sensitive issues off-record.Sure.
