[HEADSUP] Package maintainers should be subscribed to the Cygwin mailing list


Hi package maintaners,


I vaguely remember that I wrote that before, but I would again like
to stress that package maintainers should really be subscribed to the
Cygwin mailing list.

>From my point of view, a package maintainer not subscribed to the normal
user's mailing list is not really traking his or her job serious.  How
are you supposed to know that something in your package is broken, if
not from the package users?  You can't just pack something and then
ignore people's problems.  That's not what package maintainance is about.

Along the same lines I think it is *very* impolite to require other
package maintainers to forward problems with a package to the
cygwin-apps mailing list.

So, again, please subscribe to the Cygwin mailing list if you not
already did so.


Corinna
