Re: [Savannah-users] public mailing list

[André Z . D . A .]

Hello, Pablo,

I was surprised and bit puzzled with your message. It is reasonable to think 
that someone with more information than I have will answer it soon.

But I've found one thing: there are private lists in Savannah. But searching 
for this I have also found one list that seems to be in a bad situation: its 
name makes us guess that the list is private; but it is not, I can read the 
list archives.

The first list, the private one, is "Savannah-help-private". Its description 
says "Savannah help requests that need to be confidential', which is reasonable 
to exist, should happen eventually. Its page is 
https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-help-private and has a link to 
its archives, with a warning "The current archive is only available to the list 
members". And indeed I cannot see anything posted there, it asks me for 
user/password, and I don't have them for this list.

The other list is "Fsfc-private", and it has no description. I don't know if 
this list is abandoned, since its last message is from 2007, but it is not 
private at all. For example: 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/fsfc-private/2007-05/index.html . And I'm 
just posting it here because all the messages I saw there seem to be simple 
spam.

And I am curious with one detail. Which project you participate and/or manage 
in Savannah? (assuming that these mailing list must always be associated with 
Savannah projects)

Regards,

André
