Description Jesse McConnell CLA 2011-08-15 12:48:11 EDT
I would like to get somethings like a gravater setup for jetty but I don't want to use public mailing lists to get confirmation addresses at.  Would it be possible to get a private email address for jetty, or a non-public jetty mailing list that only a couple of use could manage?

thanks
jesse

Can you help me to understand what your really trying to do?

A private mailing list is not a problem, and project management of a mailing list isn't unheard of.

Do you care what this list is called?

example: http://en.gravatar.com/site/signup/

I would like to sign jetty up to have a nice gravatar image to use in places like github, etc but I don't want to register jetty-dev@eclipse.org as then the confirmation mail would go to a public list...

so for things like that it might be nice to have a jetty-private@eclipse.org list or straight out email address

I would use a personal email address for that but then I would have to muck around with making sure greg and jan had access to it, etc etc 

so I was hoping you guys would have a way in place for this :)

cheers

Ah, ok. 

We don't really provide email accounts(a la gmail) for committers or projects.  

I'm willing to create a jetty-private mailing list, but first have to ask if this isn't something perhaps 'better' handled via Gmail(or something similar)?

well that is certainly another option and if this is not something you guys would normally do then I can certainly do that

it sounds like this is the case so before you go off creating one offs to make me happy, how about I just go do that?

thanks!
