[Imports] The place where imports are required to post reviews has changed.- or an april fool ?

[Marc_marc]

Hello,

it's an april fool or is this an unintentional gaffe?

you put out a call for comments here
and the next thread says that people on the forum voted,
without a call for a vote on the mailing list.
of course ppl from the forum vote for the forum.
I have run an unanoncement vote with myself and got 100%
in favor of the mailing :) so what ? april fool ?

Unfortunately, experience with talk-fr and tagging has shown
the damage this kind of choice can do:
some people don't migrate, so the community becomes poorer
and more fragmented, and those on one media can't communicate
with those on the other media.
Instead of a proposal "against the list", we need to integrate
the 2 media into a single discussion forum, which is what Discourse
will allow when it matures, we just need to give it time to overcome
its teething problems.

what's even more worrying is the fact that there's hardly a single 
person among those who have taken the time to review import requests 
over the last 12 months. you can tell them they have to do it on the 
forum from now on, but that's not how it works. if a volunteer doesn't 
want to use an interface that they find unsuitable, they won't do it. 
and the unreviewed import will be approved, without the quality 
improvement that the review provided.

Regards,
Marc
