Hi everyone,

Continuing the theme of excessive noise in the mailing list, we can look at
simple statistics for the first 7 days of this month:

$ curl -q http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2012/02/maillist.html 2> 
/dev/null | \
grep '<li><strong>' | wc -l
191

$ curl http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2012/02/maillist.html 2> 
/dev/null | \
grep '<li><strong>' | grep 'Debian Bug Tracking System' | wc -l
25

$ echo $((100*25/191))%
13%

I.e. 13% of messages are useless for most subscribers.
Is it good reason to filter these messages?

Best regards,
Boris
