Mail change address, part 2

Mail change address, part 2

[Svein E. Seldal]

Hello,

Does it take some time before the mail-change comes into effect? (FYI 
Christopher Faylor changed my mail address some days ago).

I have recently received a mail from the FSF copyright clerk on my old 
account. I think its because of the gcc-maintainers@gcc.gnu.org mailing list 
perhaps. Should I wait longer and expect that it will be updated 
automatically or does this require some kind of action?

Thanks,
Svein

Hello,

My old mail address Svein.Seldal@solidas.com will no longer be available from
june -05. My new address is svein@dev.seldal.com (which is available now). I
think I have a mail forward somewhere in my FSF account that needs updating,
as I keep getting mails from the copyright clerk on the old account. My login
into CVS is sveinse@sources.redhat.com.

Can you please give me pointer of what I need to do to update my
 mail-forward, please? Or if I cant do it myself, is possible for you to make
 the update, please.


Best regards,
Svein Seldal

If you want your mailing lists to go to a different email address,
that's something that you do for yourself by unsubcribing and
resubscribing.  There's no reason for us to do that for you.

All the regular mailing-lists have been changed myself.

AFAIK gcc-maintainers@gcc.gnu.org is not a list I can unsubscribe from. In 
fact I never signed myself on to this list -- I am on this list because of my 
gcc and bintutils assignments I guess.

I could of course send a mail to gcc-maintainers-owner@gcc.gnu.org to see if 
they can help me, but I thought the gcc-maintainers list originated from the 
same source that you [cgf] already changed. But obviously not.

gcc-maintainers is a mailing list like any other mailing list.
gcc-maintainers-owner goes to basically the same place as any other
mailing list.

Apparently there is a script which gets run on a regular basis to
subscribe all maintainers to this list so, eventually, your new email
address will show up.  I don't believe that there is any system in place
which will detect that your email address in MAINTAINERS has changed, so
your best bet is to fix things up yourself.

It might be a good idea to regularily sync the gcc-maintainers list with
the gcc/MAINTAINERS file.

The script you mentioned is gcc/maintainer-scripts/maintainer-addresses 
(by yours truely) and I believe someone has done that in the past,
probably Jeff?
