Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Hudson shutdown wait from hell

FWIW

I am personally very much in favor of having a new mailing list for hudson
build infrastructure messages. Many issues like slaves hanging, hudson is
restarted are short-lived issues that are not always worth a bugzilla
entry. Also cross project list gets really a lot of traffic from hudson
issues currently which maybe is not interesting to people who dont build
there.

I am sure also some messages get lost because not cross project mails dont
have a high priority for everyone. And they could reduce the redundant
traffic on all the other channels that Denis mentioned.
It shouldnt make bugzilla redundant but it could be used for every message
about hudson that we otherwise post to cross-projectŠ.

just a thought
