It is often good to start a discussion by informing several mailing lists at once. For example, a GR proposal might be cross-posted to -vote, -project, and -devel. However, having the actual discussion be cross-posted as well rarely works well. Many people will get the messages multiple times. Others will (by mistake, if nothing else) reply only in one list, meaning that the discussion splinters into independent threads. It would therefore seem a good idea to have a ban on cross-posted messages that don't contain a Reply-To pointing at one list (at the most) on lists.debian.org.
Re: Lars Wirzenius 2006-08-25 <1156496830.5146.83.camel@dorfl.liw.iki.fi> I'd like to second that. Even though all Debian lists end up in the same folder here, having all messages in the GR threads duplicated is annoying. Imho Lars' proposal is the most sane way to get rid of cross-posted threads.
