As a contrast, look at kernel developer mailing lists as an example of mailing list culture which actually works. You don't have to subscribe to a specific mailing list for an area you do not work regularly in just to be able to ask a question, report an issue or submit a patch. You just send it (also) there and you don't have to worry about not getting replies because people (with rare exceptions) will use "group reply" properly. And it does not really matter whether I read the discussion in my inbox or any of the list folders because all replies (again, with rare exceptions) will be in all of them.
True, but does not work for opensuse lists where you need to subscribe to be able to post to them (it would have worked for me, as I am subscribed to both opensuse-kernel and opensuse-factory :-)) A change in this policy, maybe with the switch to mailman would be possible / desirable(?) but it would need two things: * "if you subscribed to one opensuse list, you can post to all lists" * "use group reply as default" But then, what about the "oh, a support question got (cross-)posted to factory, where only development questions are allowed!!1!, now all developers will instantly leave factory list" (presumed) problem?
