Hi Tim.

Brilliant as always.
This would cut the gordian knot quite nicely.

Could we perhaps have some email
aliases/group/whatever named 'MVC',
'Morphic' etc - pretty much every category and
package - to which we
can mail problems, suggestions and fixes. Each such
name would
forward to actual people or mail-lists. That way
nobody needs to know
the right person(s) by name. You simply email 'Collections at squeakfoundation.org'
I'd suggest adding a few synonyms when possible and
maybe some
catchalls like 'updates' and 'release' and
coordinator', whatever.
Using roles rather than personal addresses reduces
the potential
breakdown when people move, or get tired or swap
responsibilities. it
would be nice if our mail programs could repsond with
like role-based
IDs when replying but I've not found one that can.

I'm not sure I'd go that far but what I think it would do is make it trivial for people to get a message to roughly the right people. Since most of us access email compulsively (if not convulsively) it counts as a near-push medium. Mantis is all very well but we have to remember to go look to see if anyone is whining about our code. Sometimes an email to the right person will make a mantis report moot anyway and since it is rather tedious to use, that is good.

(http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2006-January/099013.h... - I posted this brilliant idea EARLIER than well-known plagiarist Mr. Rowledge! ;-)).

I'll take this up with Goran - SqueakMap is running on the mailserver box, SqueakMap has packageinfo -> mailaddress registration, so combining that and coming up with pi@maintainers.squeak.org (I think it is wise to introduce a bit of namespaceing in the email address) should be trivial.
