When creating a list, it tells me the list will be approved within 6-24 hours Previously when I created lists, I would receive an email from mailman some hours later giving me the list password - this is the usual mailman behavior when the mailman site admin approves a list. Maybe that is entirely within mailman and not gforge. >> Any of these things could help reduce the admin burden, maybe there are >> other approaches too? > > Help fix bugs in fusionforge, hang out in #alioth try to help people and > we'd be happy to get more people involved. If people have not already stepped forward to fill these gaps then that is the very reason why I was suggesting further automation or cutting back on things like legacy VCS support. Hopefully the burden of support and the capacity of volunteers will then converge at a point where it is sustainable. I'm not criticizing anybody for this situation, nor am I trying to prod anybody into action - I just feel that if volunteers are limited, it is better to constrain the scope of the service. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
