There is no contact info for this secret board on the openSUSE
What secret? https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board ...
page. It's all very shady; there are no names, profiles, nothing. I found one profile page but barely any contact info. What you do is on the main site, you put a "contact us" link and list everybody involved in the project.
We have probably 300 contributors to the project. I am not certain that putting every contributors name in a list on the wiki would be helpful.
Contact info for participants whether board members or other contributors is available in most cases for those who need it enough to bother looking for it: e.g. https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/hennevogel https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/rjschwei https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/RBrownCCB https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/-miska- https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/warlordfff https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/mrmazda
It shouldn't be up to Henne to pick and choose what people say and which messages go through and which ones don't. If somebody has a problem, there needs to be a procedure in place which allows people to contact SUSE directly.
often repeated on the lists: admin@opensuse.org for general issues <listname>+owner@opensuse.org or <listname>+help@opensuse.org for issues specific about a specific list Both the latter are in every message's headers. ...
Last but not least, for the record. Henne Vogelsang is NOT a troll. Henne is a well respected contributor to and member of the openSUSE project.
+1 Picking and choosing is any moderator's job. It doesn't generate much in the way of open appreciation, but assuredly is appreciated by those enjoying the valuable benefit it can and does provide where needed. Moderating here seems to be yet another volunteer position. Absent other volunteers, Henne's what we have whether you like it or not. If you don't like the job Henne's doing, feel free to contribute a better resource. If you don't like that Henne moderates what you write, the bigger problem is most likely what you write. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
