Re: Further Midnight Commander development

[Miguel de Icaza <miguel novell com>]

Hello,

   It is very common in every project I participate to use different  
mailing list for these different goals: users, developer discussion,  
bug tracking and commits.   It makes it easier to filter, and it  
allows for people that care about one particular area to focus on that  
area.

   If you want all the mail mixed up, you have the choice of doing  
that in your email program, but there is no need to force other people  
into your development model.   Having multiple lists, one per task  
makes it so that people can opt-in into what they want instead of  
having to opt-out with complicated rules that they have to updated  
every once in a while.

Miguel.
