imo, this isn't something that should be approved.  if a dev wants to be on an e-mail alias, then edit the alias and add them.  or find someone in the 'archalias' group to add them.

i'd say open write access to the alias files to everyone, but i think it's locked down to avoid someone being a jerk / screwing up ?  maybe we need a system to track changes & notify as people are added/removed ...

alias files are not team management ... that's what herds.xml is for.

to this end, i've added ago to all the arches he requested:
$ cd /var/mail/alias/arch
$ arches='alpha arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 s390 sh sparc x86'
$ for a in $arches ; do
 grep -q ago $a && continue
 echo ago >> $a
done

I agree. I am not in the archalias group. I have root, which is very different. I mean I can basically do anything for people; but that doesn't mean I should do it ;)

I'm pretty sure there have been at least 2 attempts to move mail aliases to git ;)
