Well, how come creation of a foo project results in automatic creation
of a foo-committers list there, if there was no expectation of ever
actually using that list? I know this is still happening because it
happened last week when I set up pg_filedump at pgfoundry. I was rather
annoyed when I found out that the commit traffic actually went to
pgsql-committers.
