Hi Axel,
I'd politely like to remind you that currently this list is a list for discussing issues that affect a broad range of openSUSE developers or are around openSUSE development processes. Not for support or discussions around one or two packages.
Please understand that as a community we expect all our developers to be on top of all the discussions that take place on this list, when we were allowing users to report issues and get tumbleweed support here a number of developers were struggling to keep on top of the core topics that this list is meant to be for, hence having to make the changes we did.
So most of all when posting to this list we ask that people are respective of other contributors time and energy and only post about the topics I mentioned and similar.
I need to admit I am a bit speechless about this posting. And I would like to express I personally completely disagree with it. I'm not sure about the policy for this list (is there any?), but it would be news to me that every developer needs to be aware of anything written on this list. I'm looking into it when time permits. That's it. And I always try to help, no matter if it's reported via Bugzilla, to me directly or I find a topic affecting my work on one of the SUSE mailing lists. I'm doing this to improve openSUSE (quality) and in the end also SUSE's enterprise products, since that's what I'm being paid for in the end.
When I say this I am meaning that the primary role of this list is to announce and discuss new development related policies etc, generally the policies in SLE are the same as in Factory. See the "Multi-spec packages only need a single .changes file now" thread as an example. In order to make it as easy possible for people such as yourself to keep up with such changes that will affect your job at times we are respectfully asking people to keep conversation on this list to that of development processes etc or issues that will affect a large number of packages. Rather then as a place for tumbleweed support or issue reporting. Hopefully this will make it easier for people such as yourself to follow the list and be informed of the information you need to know.
