[Python-Dev] new mailing list: python-committers (original) (raw)

I figured I would send out a quick email to let people know of the existence of a new mailing list: python-committers (http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers) so that no one thinks something sneaky is going on behind the scenes.

It is invite-only, but publicly archived. The point of the list is for stuff like when the repository is off-limits to commits or to discuss release dates, etc.; basically stuff where every committer needs to be aware of something and input from the community is not needed. That way nothing important gets drowned out in python-dev by accident. At this point all committers should be subscribed to the list.

But almost all discussions will continue to be on python-ideas, python-dev, and python-3000. Any new proposals should continue to go to python-ideas first (since those discussions tend to be the noisiest, and people should feel okay to tell people quickly that a discussion should be moved over to python-ideas), and then stuff about developing Python should go to python-dev or python-3000 since some community input is almost always good and practically every developer still reads python-dev anyway.
