OK, so not many people send whatsthis contributions. Still, rejecting such 
contributions because we dismantled the infrastructure for it sounds like a 
very bad idea to me, gives a very bad image of kde.

Hmm? quality-whatsthis at kde.org seems like a perfect alias for this,
and the kde releases out there send to that address, so I don't think we 
should change it.

I think that would be a good idea, yes.
We should also tell the people on kde-doc-english to subscribe to that list in 
order to incorporate the changes, (I can do it but I'm not on kde-doc-
english).

Thanks.
