Well you learn something everyday ... today it just started early ;)
I had a look at
http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/openstack-dev which will
list the topics setup and it's far from exhustive, for example '[all]' isn't
there :(
I don't want to start a flood of requests to the Infrastructure team but we
might want to expand the list a little.
Personally I'd like to see all and stable added.
We can avoid adding election as a topic if the election officials use
'[all][election]' in the subject line[1][2]
It's probably beneficial for the PTL to subscribe to cross-project.
Yours Tony.
[1] Which, speaking only for myself, I'm happy to do
[2] Assuming All is added as a topic
