For context, I think it's an answer to this open letter from GNU developers: https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/joint-statement-on-the-gnu-pr...
Very anemic list. For example, only one person from GCC steering committee (Ian Lance Taylor)
EDIT: I misread, it’s not a letter of support to Stallman. Sorry.

Also not a single woman on that list of Stallman supporters, as far as I can tell. EDIT: I misread, it’s not a letter of support to Stallman. Sorry.

This might be a noob question but can someone explain me how mailing lists are used in software projects. I keep seeing these archived emails that are posted. Could someone fill me in?
