Actually, I think it would initially probably do both. Messages on gdb-patches certainly get more attention than bug reports. > Those of us with time and patience to deal with the bugzilla traffic > already get it from gdb-prs (which is a Bugzilla-only list; you can't > post to it, only Bugzilla can; reply to the Bugzilla address). If bug reports were cc'ed to a mailing list which you already are subscribed to then presumably you could unsubscribe from gdb-prs so that you still only receive each bug report once. > If we need more people working on the bug system, that's a people > problem, not a list configuration problem. I disagree. In part it is a configuration problem because the ideal outcome of a bug report is a patch. Currently to get attention this requires cross-posting to gdb-patches which I think is more irritating because unsubscribing from gdb-prs would result in missing or incomplete bug reports. In any case, I've unsubscribed from gdb-prs now as I've found it to be a waste of my time and I won't be submitting any more patches for bugs reported there. -- Nick http://users.snap.net.nz/~nickrob
