I'm fine with opensuse-packaging. I do think another list would be
better, but it's not really important -- my main request was about
getting reminders & announcements sent out :-)

Is there any way we can help you on this? A potential solution could be
to have automatic mails for deadline reminders, and new freezes, etc.
with some script love. Won't work for everything, but that would still
cover a good part. Or someone could do it -- I perfectly understand you
don't have unlimited free time, so that's an easy area where we could
empower someone, I guess.

Thanks,

Vincent
