As I understand it, there are currently various mailing lists associated
with the Athena release:
release-team@: for release team discussions
debathena@: for general development discussions
athena10@: for policy-type discussions
bugs@: for bugs in current release
suggest@: for wishlist bugs in current release
testers@: for people testing future releases (I see this as being people
running e.g. the -beta repository in the longer term)
I think that this general structure is fine as a user interface.
However, I think it might be desirable to put debathena@ (or maybe
athena10@?) on testers@, so that bug reports from people testing Athena 10
go to the same place as bug reports related to the deployed Debathena
system.
I think that once Athena 10 is deployed and Athena 9 is gone, debathena@
should be on bugs@ and suggest@, since mail to those places will likely
all be relevant to Athena 10. I don't have strong feelings as to at what
stage in the deployment that change should happen, but given how
low-traffic those lists currently are with Athena 9 bugs, I think it makes
sense to do it now.
Thoughts?
