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

I think the email list is fine the way it is now.  Many of the bugs
reported aren't actually bugs but questions or misunderstandings of how
rsync is supposed to work.  In many cases the only difference between a
bug report and an email list question is the method of replying.  If you
reply to a bug report via the email list it does not go back into the
bug ticket :(

If you don't want to deal with or hear about the bugs they would be
trivial to filter out.  Something like Subject: [Bug.*].

Also, if you prefer a users helping users format then
irc://irc.freenode.net/#rsync is a better place to go.  It generally has
more traffic and faster answers.
