I sent a mail to libc-alpha with discussion of improvements in libc, but 
it was rejected even though that's exactly what the description says 
libc-alpha is for: "The libc-alpha list is for the discussion of glibc 
development."

The description says: "The libc-help list is intended for all glibc 
questions including build problems"

I relied on the list descriptions and got rejected. That made me angry. 
Obviously, the moderator is not in agreement with the list descriptions.
