Does this need to be a mailing list/Google Group/newsgroup, or would just a mailing list be sufficient?

Does it really need to be at the top level if it's simply filled with automated semi-spam? Who is going to look at this stuff?

A newsgroup would be best as some users explicitly requested it.

Feel free to change the prefix of the list though if you feel it shouldn't be top level.

>Who is going to look at this stuff?
Authors of Telemetry histograms.

Please also have a look at the discussion on mozilla.dev.platform ("Telemetry alerts for histograms").

How about mozilla.qa.telemetry-alerts?

Do you want it to be read-only for everyone apart from the system which submits the alerts? Not sure if we can do that, but I thought I'd ask.

Perfect.

That would be helpful if it's possible. The only sender will be [e-mail].

OK. Over to server-ops. Ops: what can you do about letting only [e-mail] post to the list?

Why under qa and not dev like mozilla.dev.tree-management? From my experience, telemetry is used way more by developers than QA.

Note that for tree-management developers sometimes reply to the alerts to indicate bug numbers for regressions or at least provide explanations if they are expected.

mozilla.dev.telemetry-alerts is fine too.

OK, so let's create it with r/w access.

I created mozilla.dev.telemetry-alerts. 

Turnaround is typically 24 to 48 hours.

[Ed Lim [:limed]]

Looks like this is already created.
