Subjectlinux-kernel FAQ?

Has anyone considered running a script from cron to post a weekly
FAQ to the linux-kernel list? Remember the "broken flock() emulation"
thing and the ever popular "how do I get off this mailing list?"
These are just two examples of many. It could include pointers on
list ettiquette and perhaps a list of "must have" files.

This seems like a really easy thing to do and maintain. It
would be invaluable to the many dedicated lurkers and newbies.
It would hopefully cut down on some of the noise. I value my
developers' lack of stress. I hate to see David Miller have to
deal with this kind of stuff:

> How do I get off this mailing list ???
>
> echo "unsubscribe linux-kernel" | mail majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu

I will volunteer to maintain this if necessary, if it is concluded
that this has some merit and if no one else wants the job. I'm just
a lowly sysadmin though, perhaps not very qualified for the content.
