== Closing Maintainers List == * After a long discussion, it was decided to close the fedora-maintainers-list. In the future maintainer discussions will be conducted on the fedora-devel-list. bpepple will send a notice out announcing this.
Given this decision, I would like to propose to also close down
- fedora-test-list@:
Rationale: There can't be a clear separation between testing and development. testing is part of development and maintaining packages.
- fedora-packaging@: Packaging and discussing details of packages are
part of a distribution's development. It doesn't make sense to keep specialized lists for these topics.
We can discuss this at next week's FESCo meeting if you would like.
Yes, please do so - Put it on your schedule.
This meant to be a serious proposal and is not a knee-jerk reaction[1]. You've decided to kill maintainers@, now you should be consequent and kill these lists, too.

[1] IMO, this FESCO decision is a fault and mistake, we all will regret. It molests maintainers with long term development babbling and molests "application developers" with "bureaucracy of Fedora package maintenance" - It's not helpful to both parties.
