And if users are rude and nasty to devs or packagers, then there won't
be a distro. So, we need to find ways to help both sets of people be
good to each other - understanding, polite and make sure that users get
to know which forums/MLs/IRC channels are the right ones to use, and
how to do proper bug reports, and devs/packagers know to show users
where to go for help/how to report bugs etc.

Maybe we have a page where there's netiquette, the various places for
help, and the URL's in the footer of emails? and then we can politely
point to it, and invite people to continue the conversation in the
right place?

Cheers,
