proposal: feed smaller mailing lists into linux-kernel, add linux-kernel-core and linux-kernel-bugs

[Benjamin LaHaise]

Hello Dave,

In light of some of the earlier comments in the various threads, I'd like to
start feeding postings from linux-mm and linux-aio back into linux-kernel 
to encourage more widespread distribution of highly specific mumblings to the 
community at large.  Along this lines, I also would like a couple of more 
specific mailing lists to be added: linux-kernel-core and linux-kernel-bugs 
to help readers in classifying the traffic.  Thoughts?

Absolutely no way.  Forwarding "all the little other lists" into
linux-kernel is not going to make things better.

    If there *really* are people who want to get it all,
    we could create a digested   linux-all  list.

    On the other hand, they can do like I do:  subscribe
    all interesting into separate addresses (aliases),
    which go into separate folders.

    As things are, people who are using Yahoo or Hotmail,
    or whatever Mail-ISP thing out there are usually
    being bounced (and removed) because of the very high
    traffic volume at linux-kernel overflowing their
    mailboxes already.  (Digest won't help them there.)

I'd much rather have people add specific tags to the
subject of their emails, like:

[BUG]  [PATCH]  [RFC]  [ANN]  etc....

cheers,

Rik
