I might have missed some discussion; but why are we moving away from mailman, and what software is in the new system?
Seconded. Mailman is presently the gold standard for mailing list management [1], and while a lift-and-drop of a Mailman instance from one host to another isn't entirely transparent/trivial, it's a fairly well-understood process, and there is certainly no shortage of assistance available for anyone who runs into problems with the task. If there is a plan to downgrade from Mailman to any of the alternatives, then those advocating it need to present compelling technical arguments that make the case why this course of action is necessary. ---rsk [1] This is not meant to suggest that I think Mailman is perfect; it's clearly not, and its maintainers would be among the first to admit that. But it's very good and consistently being improved.
