Do we have an email alias to address all podling's PPMCs?

Hi,

We have pmcs@apache.org for project PMCs, is there an equivalent for podlings?

I'd like to inform them of the changes to
http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Champion

Ok, that's probably good enough for my current needs.

Right, let's keep it simple for now. Just taking all known
*private*incubator.apache.org lists wouldn't be perfect either as that
might not take inactive podlings into account.

As explained on various occasions, this will not be thorough.
Some have non-standard names, some use a short alternative name,
some would still be in process of establishing their lists.

Clutch does this by gathering various hints about their
list names, then ensuring that archives are available, then
creating the reporting group lists (in SVN).
Of course that is for the "dev" lists, but that would provide
the correct name and availablity. Not that we want Clutch to be
a central part, although it already is for the marvin reminders.

Thanks everybody for your suggestions, for now I have added a
"ppmc-aliases" ant target to
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/build.xml in
revision 1235329.

This generates a list of addresses for the current active podlings
based on the site-author/podlings.xml file, which is supposed to be
kept up to date.

As suggested, any messages sent to that list of addresses and that can
be public should have Reply-to set to general@incubator.apache.org,
that I suggest CCing as well.

Hi Ross, just to be clear the suggestion the suggestion was for more
than just an announce stye list - release votes and all poddling
related stuff would stay on general@ and just the internal things,
such as this thread, could go on the dev list. Anyway, just consider
this a [RT] type thing, the ppmc alias would be useful as well.

As others have said there isn't once, but unlike others who are
suggesting an announce style list I think we do need an all PPMCs
list. Sometimes we need to ensure messages get through. PPMC members
are required to be on their projects private list, so that it the way
to do it.

Emails I imagine going to this alias include Bertrands mail, ConCom,
Travel Assistance and GSoC mailings. These amount to maybe half a
dozen a year. Not a huge number but all very important communications.

Anyone from infra@ here got any comments before we ask for one to be set up?

OK same idea, different name ;). I (as a committer/reader of this list)
think this is a good idea!

Yes exactly. Though i was suggesting keeping general@ for that as its
so well known and to avoid yet another list for poddlings to watch and
so instead moving all the Incubator internal chatter off general@ to
somewhere else.

Would it be an idea to have something like an announce@, specifically for
decisions that have been made (concerning all poddlings) after al the
discussions on the general@ list?

With all the discussions her, it is indeed difficult to keep track of what
is changed.

I don't think so, and someone asked this a while back and didn't get an answer.

As an alternative, you could send a [NOTICE] type email to general@
which all poddlings are supposed to be watching. Thats likely to get
lost in the flood of other messages so what we could do is set up a
new dev list for the Incubator where we can shout at each other about
process etc and keep general@ just for things that need to be
communicated with poddlings.

Related: the policy for committers@ is that all messages should have
Reply-to set.

At the moment, mailing lists and alias definitions are managed in the
same place, so defining one based on the other isn't impossible.  But
anyone who sends to a hypothetical ppmcs@incubator alias would undergo
moderation _in each list separately_.

I see some troubles with a ppmcs alias.

When messages are sent to such an alias, then there needs
to be a place to follow-up. Suppose that would be general@

How to keep the alias maintained. The set of podlings
is always changing. The lists are actively gathered
and verified by Clutch:

The first question is "which lists?"  See the following for an
inventory cross-checked against podling status:

https://whimsy.apache.org/incubator/private-lists

Based on the answer, I can set up a one time alias.  I just don't want
to sign up the infrastructure team for maintenance unless there is a
recurring need.
