I was actually unaware that this mailing list had popped up. It was 
probably decided at one of the sessions at the QtCS that this list 
should be created, and then it was created silently. That's not good, it 
should have been discussed and presented at the development mailing 
list, like you suggested, as not everybody could be present at the QtCS, 
or even at that particular session.

So yes, I agree with you, new mailing lists needs to be announced.

Can the one responsible for this list please provide the development 
list a short description of the new ML and why it was needed?

Thanks!
