They already do. The overview mail is composed of the bio summaries that are part of the AM report. However, I still have to figure out who was accepted since the last such mail was sent out, where the AM report is, copy the right section from that AM report, paste it into the mail I'm composing, review it to make sure it contains only the right information (rather than any superfluous information that was part of the AM report but has no business being in the overview mail), and making sure the markup is similar across all the mails. Doing this easily took over an hour when I did this, which IMO is too much for a comparatively small benefit. After all, in that hour I could also have reviewed an AM report, which is much more productive. -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
