I'm stating to get a lot of stuff from this mailing list.
Would it be possible to separate it? radeonhd-{bugs,commits} or something like that?
Best regards.

As the unichrome driver developer, i have the following lists on sourceforge: unichrome-devel, unichrome-bugs, unichrome-commits and unichrome-users. They've been there since the spring of 2004. All but one are completely useless and superfluous. And if i could have another go, i would only have a single mailinglist there. -bugs/-commits hasn't seen any traffic since early 2005. -devel has only seen commit messages since about the same time. The level of traffic never warranted seperate lists at all. As a reference, when you need to dig something up again, it is much easier to do so with a single mailinglist and a single point of reference. For any new user it is also much easier to just sign up to a single mailinglist than to have to describe and manage several. Plus, this is only for a single driver, the traffic will never be excessive and never has been so far. I do not expect this to change in any significant way. Even if we get slashdotted and the mailinglist gets flooded, we will still return to normal after a week or so. Having bugs and commit messages sent to the same list is a feature. Everybody can easily track progress that way, no more git-pulling every five minutes, just scroll through the ML and find out. Also, our commit messages are very sensible and very readable, unlike the ones sent to, say, xorg-commit, which are huge and unparsable. This is another conscious choice based upon unichrome driver experience. Luc Verhaegen.
