Marc made an average of exactly 1 commit a day over the past two
weeks; that doesn't seem too much, even if the pace is doubled after
people start suggesting patches. This isn't gcc, which has a
separate list for checkins, where there were 46 commits yesterday.
gcc has separate lists for general discussions (gcc), help (gcc-
help), discussion of patches, which also serves as a record of which
patches are committed (gcc-patches), and an automatic record of
commits to their svn repository (gcc-cvs, which tells you what their
previous content management system was ;-).
I suggest we see what happens for a while with a single list.
