Hi Mailman Developers. Considering the recent debate on this list regarding the possible uses and usefulness of an encrypted Mailman mailing list, I tried to look for orgs / groups that already use or are looking for an encrypted mailing list. To see what they use / what would they like to use / what required features they need / what nice to haves they might want.
My first idea was Tor Project's private mailing lists, they have a few security / organization related lists that are private [1]. They noted my idea was similar to Schleuder, which they started using just recently [2]. I had few other people message me, most use Schleuder [3] and one use of custom patched Sympa installation [4]: > We have a project based on Sympa to integrate PGP support, the backend > is completed and we still have some frontend parts open. We started > with the project some time ago out of frustration of schleuder and > the lack of the userinterface. We choose Sympa because of the high > performance mail processing, however, the frontend is not very nice I think that an organization such as the Tor Project, with their high security requirements, using encrypted mailing lists means that the interest in encrypted mailing lists is well-founded.
