+We should automate this IMHO.
+
+My plan was to add some whitelist for gmane, and some script to
+subscribe to gmane using www::mechanize, as this would auto subscribe
+new lists that we created.

+
+mhh, I think you wanted "committer at mageia" rather than root at . That
+didn't made much sense now I think of.
+
+
+> every committer already have an alias (or login actually)
+
+Nope. Only founders have for now.
+
+$ grep aliases_group  modules/postfix/manifests/init.pp
+        $aliases_group = ['mga-founders'] 
+
+For sure we can add to others, but I would prefer that we formalise a
+little bit more how do we distribute them ( ie what about others group
+than packagers and translators who are in ldap, as we should strive to
+include others group as well ).
