[Mailman-Developers] explaining bounce_score_threshold

[PieterB]

I'm having some trouble with a bouncing e-mailadress (still
investigating). I didn't really understand the bounce_score_threshold
help text. Mailman 2.1.3 help text for the item is:

bounce_score_threshold (bounce): The maximum member bounce score before
the member's subscription is disabled. This value can be a floating
point number.

I think the explanation on 
http://www.washington.edu/computing/mailman/owners/maintenance.html
is much clearer. Can the text be changed to something like:

bounce_score_threshold (bounce): The maximum member bounce score
before the member's subscription is disabled. Each subscriber is
assigned a bounce score (floating point number) and every time
Mailman encounters a bounce from this member, the score goes up.
Hard bounces (meaning a fatal error) increase the score by 1, while
soft bounces (meaning a temporary error occurred) increase the score
by 0.5. Note that the bounce scores are only increased once per day
so even if ten hard bounces are received for the same subscriber
in one day, the subscriber's score will increase by only 1 for that
day.
