The problem is that other subsystem developers who aren't subscribed
to the linux-audit list end up getting held mail notices (see the
comments from Jens). The moderation of linux-audit, as permissive as
it may be for proper emails, is a problem for upstream linux audit
development, I would say much more so than 10/day mails.

If you are unable/unwilling to switch linux-audit over to an open
mailing list we should revisit moving over to a vger list; at least
for upstream kernel development, you are welcome to stick with the
existing redhat.com list for discussion of your userspace tools.
