subbing lists to each other

Anyone know what might happen if we subscribe the project mailing
lists to arch@?

I know the "try to avoid duplicates" is set in Mailman. Will that cover?

For example, when I send an email to two lists.ovirt.org mailing lists
I'm on, I get two copies. But I haven't tried having a mailing list
subscribed to another to see how it would work.

The deal is, we must have one generic all-project mailing list. When
we see there are more people subscribed to engine-devel@ than arch@,
what should we think & do? Leave them alone in their corner?

Part of the deal of being a project in oVirt is that your project must
 integrate with the whole:

http://www.ovirt.org/governance/adding-a-subproject/

"Each project must agree to support the oVirt complete stack (CS)
release schedule"

"Each project must agree to provide or integrate with one of the
published API’s"

How can we be integrated if we don't have all project people on one
central mailing list?

On the other hand, everyone on engine-devel@ doesn't have to know
about the cross-project materials relevant to arch@ if they don't want
to - I respect that right. But that requires other people on
engine-devel@ to pass along *all* key information. Is that fair?

Until then, the only way to know we have hit all relevant people is to
send multiple-addressed emails, which creates duplicates. Maybe
subbing lists would fix that, but it means people would be in the
arch@ content flow without necessarily wanting it. The project
requirement to integrate to the whole isn't a personal requirement,
after all.

Thoughts?
