It's a long story. I want to bugs to go to the mailing list. I even
filed a bug report to that effect. If you look at the bug report, you'll
notice that it's filed in the past tense. That's because I thought I had
arranged for the bugs to go to the list just before I filed the report.
I was then going to close the bug after a successful test. It took me
perhaps longer than it should have to realize that the bug reports were
not going to the list because they were being automatically rejected as
non-member posts.
Since the traffic on the maxima list is already pretty substantial, I
think the best idea is to create either a maxima-bugs list, or a
maxima-devel list and have the bugs forwarded to it. I haven't managed
to do so yet. Any other thoughts are welcome.
