Buildroot now has its own mailing list.

Buildroot is a set of Makefiles and patches that makes it easy generate a cross-compilation toolchain and root filesystem for your target Linux system using the uClibc C library. Buildroot is useful mainly for people working with small or embedded systems. Embedded systems often use processors that are not the regular x86 processors everyone is used to using on their PC. It can be PowerPC processors, MIPS processors, ARM processors, etc. And to be extra safe, you do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.
And as of today buildroot even has its own webpage, making it a first class citizen of uclibc.org and busybox.net, and more importantly, make it easy to find and point to buildroot.
If you find a bug in buildroot, or wish to submit a patch to fix a problem or add a shiny new feature, please use the Bug and Patch Tracking System to post the details, to make certain your work is not lost
