What's the benefit? Perhaps you should re-read the GLEP? Or the log from the last two Council meetings? Nobody is suggesting that devs should have their e-mail addresses changed to foo@subdomain.gentoo.org. The issue is what e-mail address to give people who are helping out Gentoo but not actually devs. Since these people are not going to be maintaining packages, it seems unlikely that you're going to have to spend all that much time trying to figure out how to contact them; just hit "r" like you would with any other user. Incidentally, the benefit is to make users who are actively helping Gentoo feel like they're part of the family. It was decided that a straight @gentoo.org address would be confusing, though, since most people associate those addresses with developers. I'm fairly agnostic on the whole thing, myself, but since the Council voted to approve the GLEP, I was simply trying to do my best to put forth a proposal that fit within that framework. -g2boojum- --=20 Grant Goodyear=09 Gentoo Developer g2boojum@gentoo.org http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76 --2OzUYMsT4j3Kc+NU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDfnPrptxxUuD2W3YRAoDDAJ0WWgXlrdLBHX7E2YIz4LEOXLN8SwCfYmNa v+Q8dYO0tFtEI+P3uji72X8= =hz+1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --2OzUYMsT4j3Kc+NU-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
