I would remove it, so people use the normal mailing lists for that. Are other modules similarly affected? We don't have names in any of the other chapters, so perhaps we should remove all the names? ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread

Other authors are just listed in the release notes... //Magnus ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread
