[ Mails send to debian-devel-announce, which are more general and could

In general it's a good idea and long outstanding point on my over long
todo list ;)

However, during the publicity BoF at DC9, there was also the proposal
(IIRC by sledge), to introduce a kind of "delayed moderation" to
debian-devel-announce.  It seems we never opened a bug report for that,
so I do so now:

The idea was the following:

If a DD sends a mail to debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org, it is at
first held back for a certain time.  The press team is notified, and may
ask the author of that mail, to drop it and instead coordinate with the
press team a proper release (mail to -announce or -news from the press
people; his mail to -devel-announce).

Of couse such a mail can be thawn by the press team, so it is send at
once to the -devel-announce mailing list.  The mail is also send there
automatically, if the press team doesn't react within a specific timeframe.


Back than, we already talked to Don, who saw no real obstacles; it just
needs someone to do it.  He also proposed to allow the sender of such a
mail to override the "freeze" of his mail, in case it is of urgent
importance (e.g. the DSAs telling us that something is broken).  Press
team didn't had any problems with that proposal.


I think that's all that was discussed back then, and (as we didn't
tracked the problem till now) the current state, but at least now it's
documented :)


Dear listmasters, could explain what's needed to introduce such a
change?  Anything we can help?


Best regards,

Hi!

8 messages where send to d-d-a in January.  Of these I guess I would
have asked to delay the ones with the following subjects:
* Panamá MiniDebConf 2010 - March
* Thailand MiniDebCamp 2010 in March
* Invitation to the BSP in Tokyo/Japan,23 January 2010

13 messages where send to d-d-a in February.  Of these I guess I would
have asked to delay the ones with the following subject:
* Spanish DebConf 9-11 Abril, Coruña and Debian Work Session
* Lenny based Debian Edu 5.0.4+edu0 available (aka Skolelinux)
* Bits from the release team: Release schedule; the RT needs YOU
* Registration now open for DebConf10

For the 13 messages in March we have the following:
* DebConf10: register by April 15 for sponsorship consideration
* Debconf 10: Call for Contributions!

For April (19 messages in total) we have:
* Welcome to our 2010 Debian Google Summer of Code students!
* DebConf10: Final Call for Contributions!
* Mini DebConf in Berlin, Germany, June 10th/11th
* Debian Project Leader Election 2010 Results
* Bits from the Release Team: Scheduling, transitions, how to help


So in total we had 53 messages, of which I think I would have asked 14
times that the mail be delayed, while 39 would have (in theory) passed
without much delay.

(Yes, this statistic is kind of biased, as a) I just looked at the
subject to create this list; I guess some of them might turn out to be
less interesting if I would also look into the body (but I'm lazy ;) and
b) we in deed send announcements in parallel for some of them).  But I
guess it's good enough to see what we are talking about.

Also got a "someone needs to program it" for Alexander Wirt ;)
