Guess the only advantage would be to minimize the chance of someone missing the security related messages in the noise of a heavy traffic mailing list.
Even if there were a specialized list, I'd think you'd want to cross post security issues to all lists, depending on severity (and with security, all issues are generally severe). syd From: openstack-bounces+slogan=broadcom....@lists.launchpad.net [mailto:openstack-bounces+slogan=broadcom....@lists.launchpad.net] On Behalf Of Asher Newcomer Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2012 5:38 PM To: Kevin Jackson Cc: Thierry Carrez; openstack@lists.launchpad.net Subject: Re: [Openstack] Future of Launchpad OpenStack mailing list (this list) To chime in as a lurker around here, this sounds good, but why add the security list? It seems like security specific topics would interest those subscribed to the general list as well.

Anybody disagrees that we should merge this list into 'Operators'? I think there are two options: Option A1: openstack-gene...@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack-gene...@lists.openstack.org> openstack-operat...@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack-operat...@lists.openstack.org> openstack-annou...@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack-annou...@lists.openstack.org> openstack-...@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack-...@lists.openstack.org> ... "openstack-general" makes it clear this is about general questions and things that address the whole community. This would be a straight replacement of the current openstack@launchpad mailing-list. Option A2: openst...@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openst...@lists.openstack.org> openstack-operat...@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack-operat...@lists.openstack.org> openstack-annou...@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack-annou...@lists.openstack.org> openstack-...@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack-...@lists.openstack.org> ... Same, using "openstack" instead of "openstack-general". Makes it clear it's the "default" list. Option B: openstack-u...@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack-u...@lists.openstack.org> openstack-annou...@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack-annou...@lists.openstack.org> openstack-...@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack-...@lists.openstack.org> ... "User" would be a merge of the current list with the operators list. The benefit is that it matches a recognized pattern in open source project lists (-user, -dev, -announce). The drawback is that there is no default list for newcomers or general discussion, and operators-specific topics will get lost on the -user list, the same way the dev topics used to be. Personally, I prefer option A. On one side you have a general list where almost everyone lurks, on the other you have several topic- or team-oriented lists with sharper focus. One issue is that it's difficult to spot important things on the (noisy) general list, but we also have a (moderated) -announce list that we can more actively use for things we want to make sure everyone sees. Any other option ? Which one do you prefer ? -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) Release Manager, OpenStack _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net<mailto:openstack@lists.launchpad.net> Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp -- Kevin Jackson @itarchitectkev _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net<mailto:openstack@lists.launchpad.net> Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
