OK, if you don't see that approving/deleting trackbacks belongs to a
webmasters action, I propose to send the trackback mails to pear-qa. The
reason for that is, that the goal of my trackback implementation is to
raise the ammount of documentation for packages, which raises the
quality of our packages.
Sorry, Pierre, but I do not see, that approving trackbacks is just a
matter of the maintainer. What if he's on holiday? What if he simply
ignores the trackback mails? What if a package is orphan, what was not
recognized until now? We will lose a pretty low hanging fruit of docs
for our packages. Having those notifications on a publically available
mailinglist ensures, that trackbacks are well maintained and
approved/deleted ASAP after their arrival.
Regards,
Toby
