[Qgis-developer] Plugin migratin -> mailing list?

[Raymond Nijssen]

Let us not exaggerate this please.

All plugin developers provide an email address to be contacted in case 
of problems/questions. These are publicly available on our website and 
in our Plugin Manager application.

Now, because of large changes in our system that will affect all 
plugins, the QGIS team wants to send some messages to all plugin 
developers. This could be done by hand (adding up all addresses as BCC 
in an email program) but it would take up a lot of time. Luckily there 
is automation, and we can do this automatically by sending a (bcc!) 
message to all plugin developers.

What is wrong about saving time this way? I just do not get it.
