Thread: Policy on cross-posting to multiple lists
Has the policy on cross-posting to multiple lists been hardened recently? The "Crash on ALTER TABLE" thread [1] started on -bugs, but Andrew's message on 8 Jan with an initial proposed patch and my response later that day both CC'ed -hackers and seem to have been rejected, and so are missing from the archives. In that case, it's not a big deal because subsequent replies included the text from the missing messages, so it's still possible to follow the discussion, but I wanted to check whether this was an intentional change of policy. If so, it seems a bit harsh to flat-out reject these messages. My prior understanding was that cross-posting, while generally discouraged, does still sometimes have value.

Not that I've heard of.

I've done the same recently, without problems. I'd suggest inquiring
on the pgsql-www list; project infrastructure issues are not really
on-topic here.

Fwiw, an email I sent yesterday was rejected similarly because I'd tried to send it to both pgsql-hackers and pgsql-performance. I mentioned about that when I resent the same email successfully [1] after dropping pgsql-performance from the list of recipients.
