in thread New mailing list for module-maintainers

Given that there's only about 2-3 messages per day in module-authors, and the issues that face modules-taken-over-by-others can't be all that different from original module authors, why not start with your traffic there, and then see if it warrants Yet Another List because of volume or distinct needs.

I don't mind people reinventing the wheel, but let's first prove the existing wheel is lopsided.

    Given that there’s only about 2-3 messages per day in module-authors

    Is that an alternate-universe module-authors? The one I’m on has about that many in a week, on average. :-)

    (Which means I see even less point to a new list specifically for maintainers. There’d be what, 2-3 messages quarter-yearly?)

    Makeshifts last the longest.

      Hmm. I went back 200 messages from the end, and figured out the date, and it was about 90 days ago. But yes, it's a list that's very quiet, with only small bursts of activity.
