Reduction of "processing emails" is unrelated to sensoring (if I 
understand you correctly).

I guess that by "processing emails" you mean those emails sent from 
Debian infrastructure to the Maintainer email address.

Do you mean that you want an _additional_ mailinglist which is 
_separate_ from the address used in package Maintainer field?

E.g. a -discuss list?

I was unaware that the Alioth list was broken.

I recommend that you report that issue to the mailinglist admins: The 
footer of https://alioth-lists.debian.net/ lists 
https://salsa.debian.org/alioth-lists-team/support as their preferred 
place to report issues.

Yes. Thanks :-)

Ah, right.  I vaguely rmember us discussing mailinglist structure in the 
past, but I do not remember what was the conclusion of that discussion, 
and it is not clear to me from that bugreport either.

Sorry, I fail to see how my role as moderator for the current Alioth 
list makes me any special regarding setup of additional lists - at 
alioth-lists.d.n or at lists.d.o.

Given my lack of understanding of both what exactly you want here and 
what was requested in the bugreport, I don't think I am the best to 
follow up.


I am open to changes to mailinglists, for the record.
