CVS Commit Mails
Hi,
after I commit something to our CVS, the send mail takes
approx. 10 hours to arrive. Is this a general problem,
or am I the only one with this delay?

You could turn off moderation, but that would open the list up to spam.
Another option would be to proactively add committers to the "allow" list
of the mailing list when they given karma on the CVS module. The
infrastructure folks are slammed enough as it is, that the proactive step
just isn't done; effectively, the infrastructure team is delegating that
step to the list moderator(s). This step is complicated in that adding a
person to CVSROOT/avail can be done from any old client box accessing the
CVS repository; manually/proactively adding people to an allow list is a
whole separate session over to mail.apache.org and running an ezmlm
command.
Now... if somebody were to write a super-tool that added a person to
"avail" and to a cvs mailing list... well... :-)
Outside of those two options, I'm not sure of anything else. Conceivably,
there might be a way to put something like *@apache.org into all of the
CVS mailing lists. I don't know enough about ezmlm to know if it can do
that, tho.
Cheers,

I guess so, but I'm not sure. Let's ask infrastructure:
Can this be handled automatically?

I think that is due to the slow response from David and myself as we
need to confirm these mails before they get sent to the mailing list as
mailing list moderator.
Is there a way to automatically accept the cvs mails?
