I was referring to how the new list should operate.
We hadn't decided how. Though i was distracted with the
release at the time, so it was a blur for me.
Also is Lenya happy with this?

I still don't see how such a virtual list would work.
Can someone explain?

Good point. That could/should be tested with a [VOTE] too, just to be sure.

Sorry, I should have explained what I mean before.

We would have these two addresses:

   lefo@forrest.apache.org
   lefo@lenya.apache.org

Everyone subscribed to the forrest and lenya dev lists can send mails to
these addresses.

Every mail sent to any of them is automatically posted on both:

    dev@forrest.apache.org
    dev@lenya.apache.org

with [lefo] added to the header to signal that the reply will go to both
lists and a reply-to header set to a lefo@x.apache.org list.

Basically it's an automatic and transparent cross-posting.
Actually, I don't even know if it's easy to set-up or not O:-)
