I'd suggest that the savannah-hackers should be more aware of the
cvs-hackers list. I'd be happy to deal with stuff coming through the
cvs-hackers list.

I prefer that because I get such a lot of email that I have to
organise it by it's "to address". Mail from individual
savannah-hackers about certain problems might get lost by me.

However, I do try and deal with everything that turns up in my mailbox
so any problem they have feel free to send it.

Then the rumours are probably untrue  /8-> Which is a shame, pgsql is
a whole lot better than the m's.

I don't think you did deserve the crits. But I would be more than
happy to write drafts for you. Most of the time I would also be able
to liase with Bradley about approval for announcements and such like.

I've just subscribed to that. Alex, I suggest you do as well.
