It seems to me:
* there is a want for such a list from a number of people
* it can be done via bugzilla
maybe im just lazy, but the next step doesnt seem to be
* (if new gentoo user who missed _this_ discussion) discover that
there is no announce for yet to be closed bugs
* individually set up bugzilla to do it.
* (repeat n hundred times)
the logical solution seems to be:
* set up a security-newly-discovered-start-to-panic@gentoo
I guess Im wondering what stops this happening again in 6 months with
all the people who have joined after this disussion finishes (given
that the list's function isnt clear) and then suddenly go 'hey....'.
And also if it is sane to have a number of gentoo users all perform
the same operation in the bugzilla when there seems to be a need for a
single list that:
* gets posts from bugzilla
* noone else can post to (suggestion, announce on the new list, any
discussion here)
* is an offical '@gentoo' list
In that way, we add a single new list with a clear reason for
existing, satisfy a lot of people and dont effect this group in
any way except maybe to get some more secuity discussion.
cheers,
