[jira] Created: (INFRA-2508) Suggested less misleading
instructions for mailing list moderators
Suggested less misleading instructions for mailing list moderators
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: INFRA-2508
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-2508
Project: Infrastructure
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: Website
Reporter: Sidney Markowitz
Priority: Minor
The instructions for mailing list moderators at http://www.apache.org/dev/committers.html#mail-moderate says that either ignoring a moderation message for five days or actively rejecting it will bounce the message. It should indicate that ignoring it drops the message without bouncing after five days, which is the preferred behavior for spam as the sender address is probably forged, and that you should actively reject the message if you do want to bounce a notice back to the sender. I will attach a patch for xdocs/dev/committers.xml with the suggested wording.
