A new list has been created: arch-projects.
This list is for development discussion, patches and pull requests for initscripts, netcfg, dbscripts, devtools (and maybe other projects, those are the ones I could think of).
Anyone is free to subscribe, but please, no user discussions (keep those to the forums or arch-general).
Fun fact: There was a mailing list called arch-projects once, and it has been deleted, but the old archives are still there.

It would be nice if people would prefix the mails with the prject's name e.g. ([netcfg] or [devtools]). Otherwiese there is quite a chance that mails will get lost; especially if the traffic on that list increases.

Agreed. You can also tell git send-email to prefix your patches I think. We should investigate this.

Is it possible to generate those tags from address extensions? Would be nice if you could use addresses like "arch-projects+initscripts@archlinux.org" and mailman generates "[arch-projects] [initscripts] <normal subject>"

We could do some postfix filtering magic to do this. I don't think mailman can do it.

If we do that in postfix we have to ensure it only adds the tag once.
arch-projects mailing list arch-projects@archlinux.org http://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-projects
Also could you get rid of that footer? It's pretty useless imho and we don't have it on the other lists.

Test.

This sounds like a good idea, I'll try to remember doing this.

That would be great. I have asked several contributers to post patches to the list, I guess it will be rather unlikely that all the one-time contributors will know to add this prefix. It would be much easier if I can ask people to post patches to arch-projects+initscripts@archlinux.org. I don't know if it is possible though :-)
