I don't think it's going to make sense to forward e-mail from golang-nuts to the issue tracker. So we would need a separate e-mail address. Now, sure, we could validate the sender's address against the list of people subscribed to golang-nuts. But Google Groups also has a bunch of spam blocking; it doesn't just accept any e-mail from someone who is approved. If we had our own e-mail address, we would lose the spam blocking. Or so it seems to me. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
