If the TW announcer is changed to mail additional addresses, I think it should mail the snapshot announcements to opensuse-updates@opensuse.org and not opensuse@opensuse.org

We don't mail the user support list every time we release updates to our other distributions, and I don't think regular TW updates should be of any particular interest to the readers of opensuse@ like they are to the readers of opensuse-factory@

Perhaps it depends on the best/primary place for support for TW users - do they address their questions to opensuse@ or opensuse-factory@ ?

I don't see how that is relevant - maintenance updates to 13.2 and Leap 42.1 can cause issues too, and users are expected to ask for support at opensuse@ while the announcements regarding updates get sent to opensuse-updates@

I guess I see TW slightly differently, but as I don't use TW myself, my view might not count for much. I have kindof assumed that TW users would be keeping their installations "more" current than a typical Leap or 13.2 user.

Tumbleweed is a rolling release. There are no updates. Despite the case of emergencies.

Don't get me wrong, if there are people out there who really want opensuse@ to get the TW announcements 3-5 times a week, I'm not objecting to the idea (more attention to TW in more places is not a bad thing)

I just see the TW announcements as equivalent to the opensuse-updates@ announcements we have for the other distributions, so I think opensuse-updates@ is the natural place for the TW announcements

I'm fine with that, what do others think?

-1 Less lists please. openSUSE already has more than enough. If I run Tumbleweed I'm subscribed to opensuse-factory and that's it. Ludwigs script does exactly what it is intended for. It's a heads up to Tumbleweed users that there is a new release available. Enhancements to the format, structure of the content as we have it seen recently are always welcome.
