For me it's obvious that there is no longer a purpose.

This is not a very important indicator: if you look at the Italian
mailing list, traffic is just occasional in certain periods, but new
releases are announced and when I needed a volunteer to help with
website translations for 4.1.8 I promptly found help there. So the list
is still useful while it may well happen that in a given month it
doesn't receive messages.
Shutting down a list breaks a link between some (many?) users and the
OpenOffice project. If, instead, we switch the list -and other
low-activity lists- to "members only" mode, the moderator will have just
minimal activity and conversation can be started at any time (and of
course new members can join by self-subscribing as usual).
Note that I'm also writing this as moderator of a couple lists: I would
definitely be for switching them to "members only" to limit the amount
of useless mails delivered to the moderator. The current model doesn't
improve communication at all over the "members only" model.
Regards,
Andrea.
