I don't have time just at the moment to address all of this but I would
like to request that we NOT start another mailing list.  I want to
discourage this because once two mailing lists exist to which BFAV
traffic can be sent then the BFAV server must subscribe to both lists.=20
We will very quickly find people sending traffic to both lists and then
it will become necessary to start checking the history of received
messages to be sure that a new message is not a repeat.  I see no reason
that posts that do not need to go to the mailing list can not be
perfectly well archived within Bert's bug/fix archives and within the
new BFAV server.  I haven't done the work to accept such messages
directly into the BFAV yet but it's just a matter of a few minutes to do
so.

While on this subject I would like to request that we adopt a more
intention revealing method of indicating that a message is intended to
be archived into the bug system than the List-Id: header.  Perhaps
something like

X-Squeak-Archive-BugFix: Yes

Additional data, if needed, could be appended to this as desired.
