Is it possible to be on the rsync list without getting all the samba bugs?

You're right, these are all rsync bugs.

However this list is the only developer/user mailing list in the free

list. In other projects you have seperate lists for bugs, maybe with a
follow up to the developer list, but not mixed like here.
