Hi all, your mailing list moderator here.

The annual OSMF f̶l̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶w̶a̶r̶ board election will start soon, should I
change anything about this mailing list, or keep it as is? I'm not 100%
sure what's possible, but some configuration changes might change the
"feel" of the list:

  * Turn off archiving of this list, or only make it available to list
members.
  * I think we can make all emails anonymous without a "from" field.
  * Require all emails to be manually approved by list admins/mods before
being sent to the
  * Something else I don't know about?

Some CoC's say "be civil/professional", this list's CoC doesn't. IMO
someone saying "f**k that" to a homophobia statement (etc.) hasn't done
anything wrong. But should that change for this period?

Thoughts? Or leave it as is.

Rory,
