as you all know, we have the openSUSE Members, a group of contributors through their sustained and substantial contributors that are eligible to participate in elections, have @opensuse.org mail and other perks. We have now about 600 of them, but as you can see[1] in last openSUSE Board elections only 150 of them voted.
If you expect everyone subscribed to opensuse-project to be able to read [1], you need to loosen its permissions. I believe it is restricted to opensuse members only. I do know I can't read it.
No it isn't. I t is public mailing list with public online archive as you pointed out. Voting is restricted to the members and that is correct, the issue we are trying to solve is that we have plenty of members on the paper, but quite some of them are probably not around anymore.
Q: What if mail with warning gets lost?
A: If you lose your membership by accident by losing an e-mail, you can still contact membership committee and as a retired member you will be reinstated immediately without voting/verification that takes time. And you should fix your e-mail in connect.opensuse.org in that case ;-)
According to https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2016-03/msg00039.html, "AI: Michal is retiring connect.opensuse.org". If so, where will opensuse member mailing addresses be maintained?
There is another action item to investigate/write membership app. So connect is not being retired till we will find and setup replacement for voting, membership and e-mails management.
