Description Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2019-06-20 10:34:12 UTC
#gentoo-netmail
is not even mentioned on
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Net-Mail
and seems to be dead.

I suggest to remove it from freenode and our list:

https://www.gentoo.org/get-involved/irc-channels/all-channels.html

Are there any objections?

If no one working on mail packages wants to use the channel, then by all means remove it from the irc channel list(In reply to Jonas Stein from comment #0)
I don't see a need to remove it from freenode, however. Also, I'd leave it to mail package maintainers to decide about this.

What does bug-wranglers@ have to do with this?
Comment 3 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2019-06-20 12:28:47 UTC
bug-wranglers@ are the default for unassigned bugs.
I am not IRC admin, and I am not in netmail. 
So please do not assign it randomly to me.

Please stop insulting my intelligence by calling my actions "random".

If you cannot find an appropriate assignee, your best bet is to assign it to yourself. The default is the second to worst option in that case, the worst option being just about anyone who isn't related at all.

Hi Net-Mail Project.
What do you think about it?
Should we remove the dead/unused channel?

net-mail was disbanded and the chan has no a single gentoo dev with +F there, I'll ask FreeNode mob to kill it.

Redirected to the #gentoo chan.
