That's not quite how it works. The djgpp-workers list is for talking
about working on djgpp itself. It is not a generic method for
contacting the workers. I don't want people thinking "Oh, I'll ask my
generic C programming question on djgpp-workers because that's where
the smart people hang out". I *do* want people thinking "I've got
some free time and I'd like to fiddle with djgpp's C library, so I'll
ask for advice on djgpp-workers".

When it works, yeah, it's that easy.

True.

I like to think of it as "there's little left to do because it all
works so well" :-)
