Does it matter one iota whether mailman is rejecting the posts or you
are. It's a long standing nuisance. And if the software is that buggy why
not move it to vger which works and has its own active maintainers which
will free up your time ?

Well if you will hide in your own cupboard under the stairs nobody is
going to understand the ARM folks needs. You don't need malice to account
for that.

No they'd cc the ARM list and wonder why they were being ignored. That
would not really be progress. Well actually if they simply cc'd that list
and posted to linux-arm, then sent patches directly since nobody
complained maybe it would  ;)
