Thread: Removal of the patches email list
We have come to agreement that there is no longer a need for a separate 'patches' email list --- the size of patches isn't a significant issue anymore, and tracking threads between the patches and hackers lists is confusing. I propose we close the patches list and tell everyone to start using only the hackers list. This will require email server changes and web site updates, and some people who are only subscribed to patches have to figure out if they want to subscribe to hackers. I have CC'ed hackers, patches, and www because this does affect all those lists. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

I had the same question, but figured it was only because I hadn't gotten into one of the more long term threads and missed this part of it ... it wasn't discussedon -core either, nor was any mention of the idea made there ... ... not that I'm against removing it ...

There was no agreement on any email list changes at the meeting. The minutes say that I am supposed to follow up on this, which I incidentally did a few weeks ago, but apparently that post has been blocked. I'll try again later, perhaps with a different subject or something.

Is there any time line or consensus that this is going to happen? Regards Russell Smith
