The 'charter' for this list[1] is:
| Suitable topics include development work on exim, future directions and
| means to manage exim development. At present it is focused on managing and
| changing the development process, but this focus will change over time.
|
| For the present please post bug reports and imediate development items to
| the exim-users list and not this one.
IMHO that explicitly suggests that non-process related emails don't belong on
this list for the meantime.
It's not the usual -dev/-users split you see in other open source projects, but
I think we ought to respect Philip's and Nigel's wishes on how they want the
lists to be used.
