Catch-22. To post in users@ one must be a users@ subscriber, like all the opensuse lists AFAICT.
Generally speaking yes. otoh, if Lubos wants permission to post to lists he is not subscribed to, all he needs to do is ask. Alternatively, because our list admin is an old grumpy greybeard, he could just quitely subscribe and disable delivery :-)
Maybe those using @opensuse.org or @suse.* addresses shouldn't need to be subscribed. Is this already the case?
No. There is no blanket permission like that.
How would one find out?
By asking the mailing list administrator and/or the admin team :-)
https://lists.opensuse.org/ redirects to https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/, where there is no apparent mention that there are any rules for using lists, with overabundant whitespace.
I expect the applicable rules can be found in our wiki.
IMO, opensuse.org has too many lists,
Yes, courtesy of our Board, for instance.
which means if someone wants to announce something that most if not all should see, in needs to be announced on all the busy lists, if not all lists.
We have lists dedicated to announcement: announce@lists.o.o (+2000 subscribers) security-announce@lists.o.o (almost 3000 subscribers) I would not necessarily have announced the feedback survey there, but I would have thought about where best to reach the "regular user". To me, that is the users' lists, in varying languages, plus whatever other comms channels people use for the same. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (27.9°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes
