[Original message omitted for brevity]

Some points:
- I agree that the gentoo-core mailing list archive should at least be
publicly browseable
- For devs with a day job, just keeping up with gentoo-dev and gentoo-core
is a real chore. I appreciate the fact that there is a gentoo-core mailing
list for people who are really committed to gentoo and know the ins and
outs of the system.
- Gentoo is, despite what its popularity might suggest, still in the
babycradle. It's going places fast, but it still needs to go there. I
think we simply aren't ready yet for a more open development process with
voting and whatnot, but that will come.

Of course, that is just my opinion :)

Wout.
