I agree with Charlie. There should be one maintainer who calls all the shots. I'm not too familiar with what's going on here with the politics of procmail and smartlist -- I just use them. I don't even know who Stephen is and how he fits in.
Two steps back. Historical overview: Stephen is the original author. Philip took over a year ago after an IRC chat with Stephen. There were some fruitful discussions by people who were interested to contribute what they could. As far as I can tell, Philip is not interested in e.g. maintaining procmail.org and if we don't attempt to coordinate things, nobody will develop the site or maintain any mailing lists at all. The reason I want a certain level of bureaucracy is that if there is no agenda and people don't agree on what we need to talk about ahead of time, we will be wasting people's time. I don't know about you, but I cannot presently afford to waste any time. /* era */ Reply-To directed back to procmail-dev. Let's not distribute this discussion over several mailing lists, please. -- Too much to say to fit into this .signature anyway: <http://www.iki.fi/era/> Fight spam in Europe: <http://www.euro.cauce.org/> * Sign the EU petition
