Henne,

Are you familiar with how the LKML collection of lists work?  (ie.
great spam filters, no subscription needed to post, protocol involves
using reply-all at all times.)

Are you familiar with sites that offer integrated searching of those
lists.  (My favorite is http://markmail.org/)

My issue is that:

1) those lists have developed great functionality in the normal post /
reply process that does not require subscription.  Thus if I am
directed to the btrfs list for a question, I can just post and not
have to subscribe.

2) Those lists function as a single collection from a search
perspective.  Thus, if want to find a post from Ted Tso about ext4, I
can search all of the lists at once.  Not run 100+ discrete searches.

This born out in that it is extremely common to see a link to a lkml
email in a future discussion.  I rarely see a link to a opensuse
mailing list post.

So my desire is to see the opensuse mailing list collection leverage
what is going on with the lkml lists as much as possible.

Possibly this involves buying a search tool such as markmail.org, (or
asking them to host a opensuse specific search site.)
