A small correction on this point: I am pretty sure that the DNG
mailing list started right after the discussion about the GR started,
i.e. around the 20th of October. The mail I got from Mailman is dated
October 22nd 2014, but I think that there were already a few people in
the ML when I arrived. At that time everybody was just hoping that, in
the end, the ML (and the fork) would not be necessary at all...
