Well, why don't we create something like virtualization@gentoo.org? That
would be a mailing list to discuss virtualization related topics.

I don't think so. I've been attaching patches to BZ in the past and the
response time was very poor. I know everybody is working on gentoo in
their spare time and I appreciate it, but why not use something that
works for both sides? I think that if we want to attract more volunteers
we have to have a process that goes the least into their way.

That is the case on every mailing list. Every -dev list has number of
subscribes far bigger than number of people with commit access.

But I respect your decision guys. I am going to stop posting patches
until there's an agreement on how to do that.
