Well, there are to many lists these days and here it there is a bit
chaos. This will probably cleaned up sooner or later (it was discussed
on fedora-advisory-board slightly already). Someone just has to work out

detailed yet.

IIRC. Most other lists are open iirc.

Summit-Pages already. A lot will change and we can need any help with it.
