I think we need to get these new mailing lists running.  One of them could
be for module authors and porters.  I can get Nat to set them up on
perl.org.  I don't know if macperl-modules and macperl-porters should be
separate at first.  Maybe for starters they can be one list, until we have
enough separate volumes to justify two lists.  Don't dilute the brain
concentration until we have too.

Absolutely.
