[Development] Qt 5 for Android developer mailing list

[Laszlo Papp]

I am sorry for writing this, but this sounds like a bad idea to me because:

1) The important discussions go to the separate bubble. For instance, I am
more interested in mobile platform discussions than Mac and I still have to
read the Mac discussions.

2) Removing the list eliminates the possibility of tracking what has been
discussed.

I do not think a non continous heavy load would be any problem as it was
not like that with the many emails about QML from Alan either. In fact, it
would increase the visibility about Android and perhaps there would be more
contributors joining. As far as I understood, that has been a big problem
about the Android port for a while, there was not enough contributors
around.
