<PRE>Le 03/04/2013 13:33, Oliver Burger a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> I do think it is important to have contact addresses. Not only mailing
</I>&gt;<i> lists, you have to subscribe.
</I>&gt;<i> It's the only way to get questions and feedback from people who only
</I>&gt;<i> have a simple question or feedback to give and don't want to subscribe
</I>&gt;<i> an ml for that which they would have to unsubscribe again after they get
</I>&gt;<i> the answer they are interested in.
</I>&gt;<i> The only question - as I see it - is, who should get those mails?
</I>&gt;<i> And I think the best idea is for the whole teams in question to get them
</I>&gt;<i> because otherwise you will have to find someone with too much time on
</I>&gt;<i> his hands.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> And by the way, just to state a number about the incoming traffic using
</I>&gt;<i> this mail address
</I>&gt;<i> All in all I found 5 - in words FIVE - threads in my gmail account,
</I>&gt;<i> which were addressed to the packagers@ address, including an mail from
</I>&gt;<i> bugzilla about a bug report complaining about the many mails, the
</I>&gt;<i> contributor gets that way...
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> I have to wonder if that is not an allergic reaction to user interference...
</I>That's not a reaction to user inference, that's a reaction to have a 
gazillion different ways to achieve the same result, whereas a single 
workflow would offer better garanties of equal consideration.

If the point of this adress is to allow end users willing to ask 
question/request assistance/whatever, but consider that's not worth the 
30s effort of subscribing a mailing list or creating a bugzilla account, 
that's OK, as long as:
1) it's documented somewhere
2) people receiving those mails are volonteers to handle it

Regarding 2, I'm not.
