My infrastructure really took no time to construct because it is just
pushing email around. I don't care if I have to scrap it.
Basically it is an outgrowth of something I already do, and that is read
the email stream. My guess is that no matter what we set up I am going
to want to track things others don't want to see so I am still going to
have my private list of emails I want to address.
That private email list has grown into something official because I am
more thorough about it than most. If the community wants a more
collaborative tool, they can create one or ask for additions to my web
pages. If I need to take my pages offline to help, fine.
If the new system is 10x harder than I what I do now, I will probably
just keep doing what I am doing and just not make it visible. I can put
some work into using the collaborative tool, but as I said before, we
are going to need another 9x of effort.
Personally I don't think either the March or May wiki pages are accurate
enough, so that isn't a good sign.
FYI, others can add to the patch queue now; the email address is at the
top of each page.
