I'm sorry I wasn't clear on this. I'm all in favor of your decision to remove 
KWhatsThisManager and I'm not suggesting to reintroduce it. I just see that 
there are still many KDE installations that contain the code and, 
specifically, this e-mail address. As long as those have not been updated, 
there will be people who try to submit new "What's this" texts. Setting up the 
mailing list is just a temporary measure that helps not offending these 
people, who decided to help a bit.

Since the problem of me disappearing is only relevant for a limited time, I'd 
think the risk is acceptable. But of course I won't and if I intended to, I 
would at least tell the people on kde-devel and/or get the mailing list 
deleted.

Marcel
