What Josh is talking about is USERS not HACKERS. The docker packaging is
a perfect example. If I were a docker hacker that was trying to work
with PostgreSQL, I would have exactly -100 desire to join any current
list on PostgreSQL. It isn't relevant. I am trying to solve a very
specific problem. I don't want the noise of -hackers or -general.
However, the problem I am trying to solve would be continual as versions
change etc. Therefore I would want a dedicate place to work through the
issue. It may not be very active, but I want the resource there. It has
context and purpose.
Why in all that is holy and great in this eternal universe of Open
Source zealotry would I want to sign up for -hackers to solve that
problem? I am not looking to re-enter the garden of eden, I am just
trying to sow my patch of land.
