Last night some of us infra-folk had a chat in #gentoo-infra
about this commitlog-mailinglist.  solar stated that the
ammount of messages in the dev-mailboxes was the reason to
shut down that list some years ago (I have to fetch my
archives to prove that -- AFAIR we only had troubles with
the script, as CVS moved away from our dev-box with local
mail-delivery to a dedicated server).

We thought about distributing the mails via a public
IMAP-box or via NNTP only.

But if that list is not too urgent, it might be the best
idea to produce an RSS-feed out of the commitlogs.  Somebody
noted that we should include commits to other areas as well
and not those to the gentoo-x86 repository only.  So, if you
can wait, I can search my minimalistic Perl-skillz and write
a script for creating the RSS-feed.

On the other hand we can just switch on the mailing-list and
see how it develops…

Regards, Lars
