Sorry to say that, but I hate these kind of emails at Linaro Dev, as I believe we have other places (and better ones) to report such issues. Twitter would probably be the way to go.
Well, to be honest I don't really see the problem with letting the list know that there are issues, and I interpret Zach's brevity as "we're totally focused on getting the problem solved". I expect he's going to come back and explain what's broken when the issue is resolved.
I don't like subject-only content-free mails either, but this one wasn't entirely useless so I guess it's fair enough.
Sure, I just think there are better places for it :-) Based on issues we had with LAVA and Jenkins at the previous cycle, if I had one email for every issue, I'd send at least 20 of them, which is useful but that still doesn't make me send them to the list.
But as Ricardo's started an email-moan thread I'll just get something off my chest that's been bugging me for a while.
Everytime we get a new person arriving a load of people send pointless mails to us _all_ saying 'hi there'. Those mails are great to send to the actual newbie, but not to everyone, _please_.
Call me a miserable bastard, but really, we all get more than enough mail (especially from bloody launchpad :-), please try not to send this sort of spam to all - just people who will finds it useful.
Ah, that's better...
++1 :-)
Cheers,
