Hello, some (most?) of us found the signal/noise ratio on the debian-mentors list significantly worse since we switched to a BTS based workflow.
Having that said, I am sitting next to formorer, one of our list masters, on the LinuxTag right now and we ended up to discuss this problem again (c.f. #658498). He still thinks it would be a bad idea to filter out control messages, but he made an alternative offer which sounds like a good deal to me: What about creating a list as owner of the pseudo-package dedicated to BTS traffic (including control messages) named sponsorship-requests@l.d.o. Furthermore, the mentors list should still get bug traffic (only). Therefore we would subscribe that list via PTS subscription to bug reports only [*]. How does that sound to you? [*] jwilk looked into the code and it /seems/ to me, the "bts" subscription does not contain control messages, whereas "bts-control" control does. Can anyone verify this? -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D
