Given how high traffic python-checkins is I don't consider that a reasonable place to send follow-up and nor do I consider it the responsibility of committers to monitor it. As you said earlier this isn't in our standard dev procedures and nor do I think it should be. If you can't find an email address then either python-comitters or python-dev would be a better place to send feedback.

Maybe reply-to on the checkin messages could be set to python-dev. Not sure if that's a mailman feature, though. I think this would be a good idea. It would be nice to have on-topic traffic here. :-) Or python-committers since this is discussing code already checked in and thus is somewhat committer-specific. This also has the perk of being easier to spot (don't know about the rest of you but my python-committers filter makes those emails much more obvious than python-dev traffic). I think I've suggested this once, but it met some resistance IIRC (it supposedly made our development exclusive).

That's why I think it should go on python-dev. If the code hadn't been checked in and you were asking "what do you think of solving this by using the following code", I think you'd put it on python-dev. I'd want the discussion of an actual checkin to occur in that same venue.

I'm still +1 on the idea though, and +1 on python-committers.

That said, I'm +1 on the idea, but only +0 on python-dev.

Eric.
