Is there a way to move all the automatically generated messages
"New Tumbleweed snapshot ... released!"
to the Announce List? We could filter by subject, but it would be simpler to have auto-generated messages go somewhere else instead of directly to the developer list. Just a thought.
Due to the importance of the official announce list (it is the one where most of the media are following what the project is doing) the list is wholly moderated, requiring a human to individually release any mail to that list to ensure only appropriate announcements are made by the project.
Given the pace of Tumbleweed updates this will put a dramatic workload increase on our mailinglist admins unless they have a way of auto accepting certain mails - but they will need to continue to filter out ANY discussion because the announce list is not a discussion list, like mentioned it’s for announcements only and is used as such by the world at large.
The announcements themselves could be PGP or otherwise signed, so that allowing them could be automated. The announcement could have a "reply-to" header set to another mail list. Any reply to the announcements on the announcement mail lists would be automatically rejected. That said, I prefer the snapshot messages where they are currently. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
