We can use gerrit to help with this. Anyone can set up a watch in gerrit that notifies them of changes matching certain criteria. To implement the above suggestion, you would create a watch on this screen: https://review-dev.openstack.org/#settings,projects with the settings: Project Name: All-Projects Only If: message:"[email protected]" And then check the "Email Notifications - New Changes" checkbox. That will cause gerrit to send an email whenever a matching change is proposed, and better yet, the change shows up in your 'watched changes' list in gerrit. The search language is very flexible, here's the whole vocabulary: https://review.openstack.org/Documentation/user-search.html Of course the search string could be anything. If we use gerrit project watches for this, I think we should not use an email address as the marker if it isn't a real email address. Since if we use watches, we don't have to create a new mailing list, I'd prefer not to. Maybe just search for the string "stable-updates". On the other hand, if the maintainers want a list anyway, then we can turn on the mailing list feature for the group in launchpad, and use that address as the tag. -Jim _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
