Yes, that is the idea. I ended up having to unsubcribe from the php-notes
list in order to try to cut down on my mail volume. But if I could only
get a partial set of note notices by signing up to only receive notes for
certain chapters that interest me, or individual manual pages it would be
much less of a burden and I would be able to contribute at least a little
bit again. And I think many others could be convinced to do the same.
And we aren't really talking about letting "the public" do this. Simply
people with CVS accounts for now.
