Being able to post without subscription sounds sensible. I'm subscribed to > 10 mailing lists of projects for which I report less than a bug per year because of exactly this problem, and it is very annoying. Even if you take the extra effort and go through a sign up/off for every single bug you want to report, this doesn't really work because you might miss replies in between the signed-up periods, and while you are signed up you get all the clutter from the mailing list that is unrelated to your problem. I recall other projects implementing an open-mailing-list principle (posting without subscription), and I think it works great. On 07/02/14 13:47, Richard Eisenberg wrote:
Hi libraries,
The message below came through Cafe. It reports a problem when emailing libraries@haskell.org mailto:libraries@haskell.org, which is listed as the maintainer of several public packages. Yet, the list does not accept emails from non-subscribers. These two facts seem to be at odds, and turns people away from reporting bugs. Can we fix this? Or, do we want a separate, world-writable libraries-bugs@haskell.org mailto:libraries-bugs@haskell.org?
Thanks! Richard
