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.
Personally, I always assume that lists (any and all) are closed - also, if I am not subscribed, I have to actively go and poll for answers. Not every poster use reply-all.
Per (and all), This thread is not about open lists. Those exist and have for a while now. This thread is about leveraging that reality in one specific way. If you want to propose closing the currently open lists, please start a new thread. Fyi: I think the open lists are working well and serve a purpose. Greg -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
