So in order to see if anything interesting is sent on the ml, I have set
a alias to my email.

I have also deployed @group.mageia.org domain, so we can send email for
a complete ldap group. 
Main use cases :
- aliases ( root@ postmaster@ -> sysadmin, webmaster@ -> web team, etc )

- voting announce ( as I am sure that not everybody will be on the
proper mailling list, like at Mandriva ... )

- specific announce ( password reset, stuff like that )

I will post more tomorrow.
