Comment (by atagar):

 > Where is this quoted from?

 Hi Tim. Prior to this ticket it was asked for via a private email thread
 from Erin and Shari.

 > Should we update the process for creating a new mailing list so that an
 email is sent to tor-internal before the list is created?

 We create quite a few lists. This is the first one I can think of that's
 contentious so personally I don't think it's worth the noise on the list.

 > I'd do it myself, but I can't find the wiki page for it. And it's not
 solely my decision to add that process.

 Here's the wiki, though please don't change it without sign-off from tor-
 internal at ...

 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/emailLists

 > but it also doesn't bother me that much if we cut down on the volume of
 administrative email

 It won't receive just mundane paperwork. If that was the case non-
 employees would be welcome to subscribe. This ticket is about creating a
 communication channel exclusive to employees.

 > Or is your concern that employees are being sent information that isn't
 available to the core community, regardless of whether there is a list to
 facilitate this happening?

 Yes. If they're actually cc-ing all employees individually they're doing
 it wrong. Making a list simplifies and institutionalizes a bad practice
 they shouldn't be doing.

 > and tor employees will not necessarily be included in tor-internal@

 Hmmm, think there may be a misunderstanding. Employment with tor
 subscribes you to tor-internal at . The list has all employees.
