One of the reasons to have a separate group is to make it less daunting to post to. Having a public archive may work against that. > - Post: Group members only.

It is annoying if things get cross-posted to git@vger (whoever replies with the cc intact will get an annoying "you can't post here" bounce). But I'd try it this way for a while and see. > - Join group: Anyone. (Let's make the barrier to entry low.) Makes sense. I just joined. -Peff
