Because sourceforge just farted another bounce at me
because someone CC:'d the sourceforge linux-usb-devel
list on a thread I was a part of, I've created:
[email protected]
so we don't need to have a subscriber-only-posting
mailing list for USB stuff.

Woah, the [email protected] list is NOT a subscriber-only list at
all. It's wide open with a bunch of mailman rule filter to try to
handle the worst of the spam.
It does complain if you try to add too many cc:s to it, but that's it,
an admin (me or Stephen) will usually get around to aproving them within
24 hours.
But, I have no objection to moving to vger if you want to handle the
admin load. If so, should I send you a list of addresses that were on
the sf.net list so that people can be migrated?

Ok, I stand corrected.

We don't do migrations like that, so that people:
1) Learn how to subscribe, and thus how to unsubscribe.
2) Don't get upset that they were added to a mailing list
site they may not want to be one.
So I'd ask that you send an announcement out to the old list,
and during a transition period you can subscribe the old
list onto the vger one.
Neil B. did something similar recently for linux-nfs, perhaps
you can ask him how he handled it.

Sounds all good. If that migration works well, please let us do the
same for hotplug.

Tell me what you'd like the list at vger to be named and I can
create it now.
THanks.

Ok, I'll do that, it will be nice to move away from the sf.net lists,
thanks for offering this for us.

[email protected] would be great to have. If so, I can
migrate yet-another list there :)
thanks again,

Actually, if we are going to stick with this new list, can we just call
it "[email protected]" instead of the "-devel" stuff? The
traffic on our -users list over the years has been pretty trivial, with
much of it just posted to the wrong list to start with.
Combining the two lists would be good for everyone involved.
So, if it's not too late, the name change would be great. If you just
want to delete the 'linux-usb-devel' list and create a new one to do
this properly, that's also fine with me.

Just like any other list at vger.kernel.org:
http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
or the quick&easy version:
bash$ echo "subscribe linux-usb" | mail [email protected]

It would be nice to have the archives of this list and the nntp interface on gmane.

I'm sure they will migrate once I post the information to the lists themselves :)
