Does this mean that the information on http://www.FreeBSD.org/administration.html needs to be updated, too? Because there we have four members in the "Postmaster Team".

It's technically correct as-is; jmb@ hasn't been "active" as postmaster for the last decade or so. :-} Also, hat citation is less of a concern, as it does specify the email address for the entire team, while the "Hats" chapter in question did not. So I intended to change the latter to resemble other teams in the same document. Thanks! Peace, david -- David H.

State Changed From-To: open->closed Requested change has been committed and is now online. Close this PR. |
The current description of the "hat-holder" for Postmaster@ (in "A project model for the FreeBSD Project", ch. 5 ("Hats") leads some folks to try to contact <dhw@freebsd.org> directly for Postmaster-related issues, when it would almost(?) always be better for them to use <postmaster@freebsd.org>. Reasons for this include: * dhw@ is one individual, and is thus a single point of failure. postmaster@ is a team (currently, of three active members). * I apply rather different mail filtering rules to mail addressed to dhw@ vs. postmaster@. (E.g., mail that is not about mail-handling @FreeBSD.org that I receive and is addressed to postmaster@FreeBSD.org is nearly always considered "confirmed spam"; my mail client color-codes mail sent to postmaster@ uniquely so I can keep an eye out for it.) * Mail sent to postmaster@ is automagically archived on hub, so even if something happens to it such that the team members ignore or discard it, we still have a record of it.
