In an effort to be even more open, responsive, and reliable, Fedora
Release Engineering has created an email to Trac gateway. Email
requests for release engineering tasks sent to rel-eng(a)fedoraproject.org
will now be turned into tickets filed in the rel-eng Trac space.
e.g. here:
https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/report/1
This
will allow for better visibility in the tasks needing to be done, a more
public record of task discussions, and better record keeping to prevent
things from falling through the email cracks.
Any person that mails this address should receive an automated response
from the Trac system regarding their ticket with a URL that they can
visit to track the ticket progress, make updates, etc...
This is pretty cool, I think. During the F-9 freeze I would have found
it handy to see other people's freeze break requests and rel-eng
responses, when trying to judge how to handle my own requests.

"at the time we enable email -> trac, I want to create a real releng
mailing list, since we can now do hosted mailing lists
move discussion to the public list, and get rid of the alias which
is difficult to maintain and archive"
That'd be great too - I found it hard during the freeze to keep track of
what rel-eng plans were with e.g. when the RC was to be composed.
Generally, it's very useful for people to be able to keep an eye on
what's going on in rel-eng.
Cheers,
