I'll update the process page on the openjdk project page when I get to the office tomorrow! I haven't seen any complaints, so I think we can go ahead and do the change. Dalibor, if you don't agree, let me know :)

Cheers, Edvard

It's nice to separate these messages out, because they're typically much less likely to be of general interest.

I like this format better too. (Maybe there are also plans to move these off of the mailing lists entirely as we migrate to JIRA?) Depends how this works out. I wouldn't want to lose any transparency or archiving that the mailing lists provide. A much bigger problem to me at the moment is the amount of commit traffic I get. Can we not have these on a separate list? I need to be signed up to the lists to get the actual patch reviews/discussion, but a commit to tl gives me about five identical e-mails. I understand those on a particular team want to know what's gone in their repository, but surely this could be solved by having corresponding commit lists rather than dumping it all on the discussion list? —Dan -- Andrew :) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
