Just write a word. Well I wanted to try out the new list before mentionning it myself, it's on my TODO list for the coming week :-)

Interesting idea. Can see that having the user and developer mailing lists automatically getting the announce list traffic would be useful. Not sure about the developer mailing list getting user traffic.

What happens to responses by a developer back to the dev mailing list? How does it get back to the user that asked, and the user mailing list?

I'm certainly not against it. :) -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list

I've seen some projects (at least zsh comes to mind) where mailing lists are nested - posting to the announce list can only be done by project managers, but that post is instantly received on all three lists; anyone can post to the users or devel list, but posts to the user list are automatically received on both user and devel list. Therefore, a developer need only subscribe to the devel list to see the traffic from all three lists. Is that sort of setup worth doing with the three libvirt lists (that is, make libvirt-list subscribe to libvirt-announce and libvirt-users traffic, and make libvirt-users subscribe to libvirt-announce traffic)?
