But there also ought to be a retribution for sustained contributors to the project. We really believe in merit rather than "politics". So what you get from being recognised as a sustained contributor is: - visibility (far from enough, I think we're well aware of that too) - an @opensuse.org email alias that we very much encourage you to use, as it implicitly and explicitly shows you have something to say in the project (you "speak for the project", so to say)

Any chance we could get all of the opensuse mailing lists to auto-accept emails from the @opensuse.org domain?
Given how easily email addresses are forged, that's probably not a really good idea.
I hadn't thought about that.
Is there an easy way for opensuse to leverage the mailinglist technology used by the LKML collection.
For a collection of 20 or 30 lists, it just seems so much better than the old traditional subscription only model opensuse uses.
We host over 100 lists on lists.o.o. There are lists that are completely open, there are lists that are open to a fixed set of addresses, there are lists open to only subscribers, there are lists with a mix of all of the above. You are looking for a general solution where individual solutions are required. If you have a specific problem let me know and i tell you either why it is how it is, how to get around it or i fix it for you :)
Are you familiar with how the LKML collection of lists work? (ie. great spam filters, no subscription needed to post, protocol involves using reply-all at all times.)
Sure. vger is majordomo. Nothing fancy.
Are you familiar with sites that offer integrated searching of those lists. (My favorite is http://markmail.org/)
Sure.
My issue is that:
1) those lists have developed great functionality in the normal post / reply process that does not require subscription. Thus if I am directed to the btrfs list for a question, I can just post and not have to subscribe.
You can have that for any list on lists.o.o. For now most of them don't want to rely only on the spam filter, they want real protection with a subscriber-only setup. And in general how much sense does it make to post to a mailinglist you are not subscribed to? After all its about public discussion. That's like running into the room, shouting your question/remark and then running out again before anyone can answer/respond to you. Of course you can expect people to run after you (a.k.a. keeping the CC list intact) but that's not really nice either. Anyway, for some lists it might make sense to allow non-subscribers and if you have a specific list in mind tell me and we can discuss it :)
2) Those lists function as a single collection from a search perspective. Thus, if want to find a post from Ted Tso about ext4, I can search all of the lists at once. Not run 100+ discrete searches.
