We might finally get rid of the spam. >=20 I'm not sure if qemu's current list hosting (@nongnu.org, run by FSF) is available, but it does a lot better at spam management. Also, qemu recently aligned with the Software Freedom Conservancy https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-07/msg04802.html and as such may have advice on how to migrate canonical management of a project. Since qemu is one of the NBD implementations, there's at least a relationship to consider. --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --gn2rKS6lhgSgw7F9bSi79Rh6ahiAr6Ash Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJXGQRiAAoJEKeha0olJ0NqFRYH+wcic8kVnT5QGVXfpHMRqVI2 0pdi58UyfnSIttsJIB1Rc3N49Wvw1p3oWLVsk4nRr7RhdS0+FHbwU4rSBhF4vdbF /FJJjEexExxhT+r2XUD7nDlhMd/sEeTcwQ8mQzHkhXzyRnr6tcJDC2/fRGOG08TE lFhzcAiw6/ZtgR/EjUOcmusvsXXI5/6XpLt5Ith1fVpwbsdyqeBSZLUA3ZfUaH8C VAeG0wwgbvv5o8Ox3VCrTwVq6SYcgX1Rhs/+cTsJBJubKpgNqU//VO/25Z31Qly0 eS9z0aFlO+IPXSMWFktDvpYfAao09o5hTP/FirrUjOWkiroz+Cw5XPVufDJkIxE= =crFT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --gn2rKS6lhgSgw7F9bSi79Rh6ahiAr6Ash--
