We have recently seen on this very mailing list that for every person posting considerate opinions, there are dozens who just pollute threads with fear, uncertainty, doubt, and just sheer incompetence.
I'm very confident that an open dev mailing list with topic-oriented policy would just work. I'm so confident because this is how the Gentoo dev mailing list works and it works well.
An option could be to enable moderation on dev-public, still defaulting to rejecting everything, but allow through high-quality contributions from the outside. I agree that we should create a venue for would-be contributors to engage with us, but i also agree that we don't want to end up with non constructive content in dev-public, and we don't want to waste time on justifying rejecting/banning things (it should stay high-quality and low volume as we expect all devs and all users of testing to read it thoroughly). I don't know the best solution, just throwing out an idea. Tom
