I have been ignoring things sent to it since I figured someone else was looking. But I've just become aware that list has only me and a bouncing old address as members. (It's a hand-maintained mailing list from before the modern era of email, not a proper managed mailing list like one would expect nowadays.) We should get rid of this mailing list entirely. I tried to make it just forward to libc-help@sourceware.org, but libc-help bounces messages that are forwarded (don't have the libc-help address in the recipient headers). So we need to do two things, both of which I need some help with: 1. Excise all references to bug-glibc-manual@gnu.org from our documentation, web pages, wikis, etc. It appears in manual/message.texi, and I haven't looked for it on the wiki or web pages. 2. Make messages sent to bug-glibc-manual@gnu.org do something useful. Either they could go someplace where someone will actually see them, or they could bounce. Off hand I'm not sure how to do either of those except for just removing the aliases entries entirely so that the address bounces in the generic unknown address fashion. It would be nicer to have a bounce that includes a pointer for what to do instead, but I'm not sure how to do that. Can folks help with this? Thanks, Roland
