[Mailman-Developers] Ideas for injecting test messages

I think that, given that Andrew's been working a LOT on Mailman, and
is implementing a bunch of stuff, and that this is basically the only
time Andrew's accidentally asked a question he could have answered
with a bit more research, Andrew is using the list properly. I've only
been on mailman-developers for a couple of months, but I've been in
open source for several years, and this kind of usage feels totally
reasonable for an open source project mailing list -- especially one
where we nearly never see each other in person and the major
developers are spread from South Asia across Europe and the American
timezones (making IRC less useful), and given the April release date
we're pushing towards.

In my opinion it's okay to put each substantial question in a
different email thread -- that makes subject lines easier to skim.
