Whatever the rules acribe, poor Mr Jiang has nonetheless done 'development' in Python. Perhaps you ought to consider re-naming the list. I am sure somewhere, someone has mislabeled a link saying that this is where one posts, when one does development in Python.

What name would we pick to clearly indicate this? I am starting to think that a better idea would be to make python-dev a closed list (only subscribers may post), and have the subscription process include a challenge/response with a code word embedded in the list rules.

If this capability isn't already in Mailman, I can think of several mailing lists that could use this capability.

This is Python. We don't care much about theory, except where it intersects with useful practice. --Aahz, c.l.py, 2/4/2002
