address@hidden is what the maintainer of the emacs
package is configured as, and the mailing list that receives all of
the mails that a maintainer would see. You should subscribe to it, if,
during this teseting period you want to see exactly the types of
messages that the maintainers would see.

When we actually deploy, my suggestion is that bug-gnu-emacs be
configured to send messages to address@hidden (or wherever
the debbugs install ends up) and current subscribers of the
bug-gnu-emacs list get stuck on a new mailing list where all bug
related e-mails are copied. [The equivalent for Debian is
address@hidden (An alternative equivalent would
be to keep the bug-gnu-emacs list, but have incomming mail not sent
from the debbugs install redirected to address@hidden)

Each of the configured packages will presumably also have their own
mailing list which people can subscribe to if they aren't interested
in all emacs related bugs. [We also have hooks for EoC to allow for
subscription to single bugs if that's desired.]

1: This mailing list averages a few thousand messages a day.
2: I'm too used to smartlist which makes this sort of thing trivial;
no clue how to do it in mailman.
