Why not in this case? The average user would search for such a mailinglist on lists.debian.org rather than on alioth cause he probably doesn't even know about alioth. > There are currently three security mailing lists > (-security, -security-announce, -security-tracker) and two testing > ones (-testing and -testing-changes), why not use one of those? The -security and -security-announce are used for stable security and as it was Moritz' proposal to ask for this list it seems like it is not wanted to mix those. -security-tracker has a totally different purpose and the -testing and -testing-changes are not even about security. > What about using -security-announce or -testing-changes? I still don't see > the real rationale for this mailing list to be created. I agree that -security-announce would be an option but I also don't really see the problem in creating testing-security-announce. Moritz, what is your opinion about that?
