We have been using d-d for these mails every since we introduced them[0][1], so the destination was intentionally d-d. That said, I do not (personally) have any strong feelings for or against using d-d-a given the current rate at which we produce these lists. However, it is my understanding that we intended to do them vastly more frequently than we are now[2]. If you are concerned about people not being subscribed to d-d getting their packages removed, then I have (despite not adding it to the original mail) Bcc'ed $pack...@packages.debian.org. So the maintainers should have gotten the heads up[3]. On the other hand, if you were missing something like "Bits from the RT" then you are probably right. I think we have been pretty much drowning in unblocks and haven't had time to do a bits mail. ~Niels [0] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2011/08/msg00000.html [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2012/01/msg00009.html and https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/01/msg00653.html [2] The original mail[0] even go so far to suggest "daily". I am not certain that will happen with the current level of manual work/filtering. However, weekly or bi-weekly is not out of the question. [3] Though, 4 team lists put my mail in the "needs moderator approval" (for various reasons), so I hope their list moderators are not too inactive. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
