<html>My knee jerk reaction is that we want to be transparant and read access should be open to all. Our community empowers the members of the board with their annual vote. It is reasonable to limit write access to the board members (plus Bradley and Tony). We don't actually have a code of conduct yet, besides common sense.

While I think it would be a good guess that an email like that does not
belong to somebody who is actually interested in Evergreen governance,
in some cases there's also no accounting for taste. Regardless, there
are various technical solutions that are available for doing spam
filtering, and if spam becomes an actual problem for this particular
list, we should employ those first.
As I mentioned in my previous email, I have every faith in Chris'
judgment regarding routine maintenance and removing spammers, but if his
time is limited, I'm sure there are several folks in the community who
would be willing to help out with routine list maintenance.
Regards,
Galen
