Personally, I do understand and appreciate your feedback.

From my understanding this mailing list started as a place to chat about
cross-compling GCC, and I do not know how or when crosstool-ng started
using this mailing list as a way to use patchwork (
http://jk.ozlabs.org/projects/patchwork/) to commit changes to crosstool-ng
(on an OSUOSL server using mercurial).

At a certain point (2011? 2012?), Yann E. Morin and I decided to move
contributing to crosstool-ng to github (from a mercurial repo). I'm sure
there is a way to somehow add `[crosstool-ng]` as a prefix to the subject
of Pull Requests and Merge notifications, I just don't know how. Maybe it
is time for us to stop notifying this mailing list of changes, and inform
developers to subscribe/like/follow the github repository. That way this
mailing list can continue to be a mailing list about talking about
cross-compling GCC.

As an admin, and co-contributor (well, not so much lately; as my work, my
daughter, and some things in my personal life have taken over), I would
like to know what we can do to make this mailing list what it should be. I
don't know who owns this mailing list, maybe we also need their help in
updating the (un)subscribe page so that it is clear on how to (un)subscribe
to this mailing list.

I want to help aid in what is best, but I don't want to dictate what
"should happen". Maybe others can provide some feedback?

Sincerely,

-Bryan Hundven
