The opensuse lists come in 2 flavors: Closed lists that only allow subscriber postings and open lists which allow non-subscriber postings. Without exact list names this advice is asking for even more work - to guess what lists are open and what closed.
Henne, can we have list of open and closed mail lists?
I am opposed, in the strongest of terms, to cross-posting and having open lists for openSUSE.
Both suggestions are sheer nonsense.

Basil, Re: open lists I don't know the exact list, but many specialized opensuse lists are already open (for years now). I think this very list (-project) is open. Another open list is -packaging. Having -packaging open means any dev can post a question on -packaging without first having to subscribe. I don't know if many people appreciate that there are numerous open opensuse lists available to support them. Re: cross-posting LKML maintains open lists and cross-posting is the norm if (and only if) a topic covers 2 different lists subject area. It has been that way for at least a decade. It works well there. I am simply proposing that the opensuse open lists follow the lkml model for cross-posting. === You can argue against either idea, but to call them nonsense is not an argument against an idea that has been proven to work in other places.
