Validation test announcements: do you want them?

[Adam Williamson]

Hi folks!

So, as you may know, every so often - between 3 and 14 days - we create
a new validation event for the next Fedora release. There's an email
announcement of this. The emails look like this:

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[e-mail]...

or this, for release candidate composes:

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[e-mail]...

Until now, these announcements have gone only to test-announce@ . They
used to be automatically forwarded from there to devel@ , but it seems
that doesn't happen any more. Also, the server WG said they want the
announcements to go to their list, so I'm tweaking the bot right now to
send announcements to test-announce@ , devel@ , and server@ .

While I'm doing that, does anyone else want these emails on their list?
If so, let me know, and I can change it easily.

Thanks!

I like these because they're incredibly helpful to know what has made
it through or failed. Otherwise I don't know until someone complains.
It's pretty much the only way I can be proactive in a reasonable
fashion. I think it'd be great for the kde@ list to have it so people
can be more engaged about KDE image candidates.
