Rahul, you can't seriously believe anyone in the wider community
(outside of government and universities) still uses email lists as a way
of making announcements. Most are using blogs, with press release style
articles (or actual press releases which are sent to the real media).
Just because it is going up in the fedora world does not mean it is not
sinking into obscurity in the rest of the world. What that means is we
are further isolating ourselves from the wider community and becoming
LESS accessible as technologies and mindsets change.
Most open source coding projects I am involved in do not even have
mailing lists anymore. Blogs and RSS are the norm, even twitter in some
cases.
