Send mail to xorg-test@lists.x.org.  The message that comes back has the following header added:

Reply-To: List for the X.Org Testing Workgroup <xorg-test@lists.x.org>

Please take this up with the xorg people and come back when you have a consensus that it should be changed.

Comment 2 Aaron Plattner 2012-01-05 12:12:17 UTC

I'm sorry, I'm not sure which xorg people I should contact.  The xorg-test@ subscribers?

Comment 3 Tollef Fog Heen 2012-01-05 12:55:35 UTC

Probably the people using the list, so either get consensus on the list itself, or on xorg-devel where most of the other X developers hang out.

No replies in nearly a month.  Reopening.

Comment 5 Tollef Fog Heen 2012-02-20 11:59:05 UTC

Yeah, seems pretty dead, so I've changed the default now.

(It would have preserved a reply-to if you had set one yourself already, though.)
