This was always an proposal specific to DC13. The idea is not to merge any past lists or the prohibit furture non-english localteam lists. IMO this should be decided on a case by case basis each year. > >> * Cross-posting headache resolved? > > I think that this is the result of a "misconfiguration" of the > localteams.

So yes I think it would resolve the cross-posting headache. >> * Does it lead to actual improvement of the situation? > > I still think that there is material which should not be on -team, > especially given that -team@ subscribers are way more than the people > actually involved in DebConf organization.

And to be honest, I don't care about people subscribed to the debconf-team list not interested in DebConf organization. After all it's the DebConf organization team's list. So if people uninterested unsubscribe we don't loose anything. >> * Redirection from the -localteam mailing list to -team? > > This should be done at least for debconf13-localteam@ and maybe for > debconf12-localteam@ as well if we do not close it completely.
