Thread: Removal of the patches email list

Removal of the patches email list

From
Bruce Momjian
Date:
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.

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 ...

It was agreed during the developer's meeting at PGCon, and based on
email discussions we have had on this list.

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.

I think this is a good idea, and was expecting this to have happened
already.  Is there any time line or consensus that this is going to happen?
