Proposition to simplify VideoLAN mailing-lists

[Christophe Massiot]

Dear friends,

I believe that there are too many mailing-lists in the VideoLAN
project, and it is confusing for both our users and developers. In
particular, for our library the distinction between "user"
mailing-lists and "devel" mailing-lists is confusing, and with the
exception of CVS commits, traffic is quite often off-topic.

Since the purpose of the libdvdcss and libdvbpsi libraries is to
serve other programs (such as VLC, VLS, ogle...), users tend to
report bugs to VLC, VLS or ogle's mailing lists. Moreover, the
traffic in these lib* mailing-lists is very low, and I don't see the
point in systematically splitting it in two.

Therefore, I suggest that we do the same as most open source
libraries (liba52, libmpeg2, mad...), and keep a unique mailing-list
for each project, that is :
- merge libdvdcss and libdvdcss-devel, and call the resulting ml libdvdcss ;
- merge libdvbpsi and libdvbpsi-devel, and call the resulting ml libdvbpsi ;
- merge libdvdplay and libdvdplay-devel, and call the resulting ml
libdvdplay (the libdvdplay hasn't been released to the public yet).

Any objection ?
