+
+What about contributors or people just using our tools ( bugzilla,
+etc ), who are not strictly speaking "developpers". Ie, here, we speak
+of the changelog, but there is more than packagers in the project, and
+more contributions than packages. 
+
+So shouldn't the thread be moved to -discuss, or dispatched to others
+teams ?
