Re: ORBS redux, round n

[Jim Kingdon <kingdon@redhat.com>]

1.  I have added Chris Faylor and Jonathan Larmour to the sourceware
    group.  Don't upload trojan horses.  Be careful.  Buy low, sell high.

2.  I don't plan to _publicize_ the whitelist - publicizing it would
    mean listing it on http://sourceware.cygnus.com/lists.html or in
    the bounce message or places like that.

3.  I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other about
    mentioning the whitelist on
    http://sourceware.cygnus.com/sourceware/spam.html - I predict that
    if we did mention it there, few non-sourceware-admins would find
    it (there is a whole category of "non-publicized, but non-secret"
    information as I found when running Cyclic).

4.  It will be up to those project leaders who want to bother,
    generally speaking, to add whitelist entries.  I don't
    particularly plan on adding people in response to email to
    sourcemaster and postmaster.

5.  Therefore, it is up to the project leaders in question to take
    primarily responsibility for doing things like purging obsolete
    entries (we might want an explicit policy of expiring them after a
    year or whatever).  And in general keeping the job of maintaining
    it manageable (I predict that "If you make an exception for one,
    you'll have to make exceptions for everyone" won't be a big
    problem, although time will of course tell).

If people have further feedback on this subject, I'm sure I/we will
hear about it :-).
