[Xen-devel] [VOTE] tagging for operational messages sent to xen-devel@ (was Re: Xen 4.13 Development Update)

[Lars Kurth <lars.kurth@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Alright,

there was a lengthy discussion on this topic on IRC - log attached. The 
consensus appears to be to use Canonical messages with a CAPITALISED tag. E.g. 
"[TAG] Xen 4.13 Development Update".

The options which seemed to have least objections are
1: [ANNOUNCE]
2: [OPERATIONS] 
3: [PROCESS]

And that we should use these for other messages/announcements related to the 
operation of Xen Project Development.

In the interest of time, please vote for each option with -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 in 
line of our governance under Lazy Voting 
(https://xenproject.org/developers/governance/#lazyconsensus and scroll down a 
bit) before end of Day Monday, the 29th

Regards
Lars

    Oh, so just a matter of terminology. This means you still get them,
    you just have to fish them out.

    I'm confused by your reply: Either you inverted the sense and
    meant you don't expect a high volume of mails, or you really
    love getting mountains of mail.
    
    And just to be clear - I'm not really opposed to the tagging
    approach, I'm merely afraid that it'll not help and / or get
    abused (again).
