[PSF-Community] "stop the introductions"

[Antoine Pitrou]

So while we do not have enough data right now, the question of
mailing-list traffic may become legitimate. Too much traffic can deter
people whose social, economic, personal environment does not allow them
to make such an effort of skimming through 50+ daily emails. While open
source communities do and will probably always promote people who have
quite some free time anyway, I think it would be a worthwhile goal to
try and moderate that bias.

Regards

Antoine.
