Hi all,
I have one easier topic to discuss.
We already have several cases where it would be useful to have a
general email address for the "team". For example, in deb packing
files, Tim is specifically listed as the "Maintainer:" with his
address, while it would be more appropriate to use the general "deb
team" address. Similarly for Gentoo packaging it would be useful to
have an email address for the Gentoo team.
Here are three ways to create such addresses:
1. An alias that ensures delivery of emails to a manually maintained
list of recipients.
This is a simple solution, but it can run into a problem due to
SPF/DKIM and at the same time it does not provide much comfort in
answering - so that other team members are informed as well.
2. Mailing list open to all for incoming mails and with a moderated
subscription.
There is good comfort for subscribing team members, it handles
replying to a mailing list well and can provide an archive - it is
possible to choose whether private or public.
3. Shared mailbox for each team.
A full IMAP mailbox is good - all emails in one place, but it has the
disadvantage of having to share a password.
What way do you think is best?
Cheers
Seems to me option 2 is the only really viable one :-)

We see it the same way - option 2 also seems to me the most suitable.
I'm thinking of an address format like:
team-deb(a)trinitydesktop.org
team-gentoo(a)trinitydesktop.org
I guess it also makes sense to have a very general team(a)trinitydesktop.org,
team-sysops(a)trinitydesktop.org could also be useful.
Your opinions, suggestions?
Cheers
