I agree, if someone really wants to talk on ubuntu-devel they can sign
up to the mailing list, it's not particularly hard to do, because
unfortunately we got wanderers by and people that misunderstand who
post there instead of ubuntu-users (I'm all for the ubuntu-users mailing
list being gatewayed) which lowers the general signal-to-noise ratio
on the list.

The ubuntu-devel <-> ubuntu-forums was read only at one point, not sure
what happened to that.
