Hi Filip, Nils et al

I think the second mailing list dedicated to reporting bugs would be a  
good first step, it fits with my suggestion of starting with a simple  
system / process and evolving from that.

On the otherhand I am actually pleased that this mailing list has thus  
far had no rules, it has worked very well like that, but as the number  
of users and thus of mails increases, there probably is growing  
justification to split it into multiple target forums (e.g. bugs,  
programming, packaging, Harbour, Jolla phone(s) etc.)

Certainly the bugs thing is not easy, as any bug tracker will collect  
bugs for apps, Sailfish Silica, the phone itself, Qt, Nemo, Mer, 3rd  
party libraries etc.), but it is an issue that won't get easier with  
time, it can only get worse ...
