That would be terribly burdensome(?), to say the least. It is the main
maintainer contact address for most of our packages. However, moving
all human discussion to one cleaner, easily followable list
(debian-ruby) and leaving machine-generated mails on the other is a
clear win for me. Of course, I will set some filters up to pick up
anything not coming from the usual suspects (DEHS, Dak et al) in _my_
copy of the lists from pkg-ruby-extras-blah to the human one because,
as you say, users might write directly to it. But for _archival_ and
discussion purposes, it's best.
