Although it should be easier to rename if the list is migrated to 
Mailman 3 first.  Please contact postmaster@p.o if you want to go that 
route.

Yeah, this is the main reason we haven't changed the name already. I
wondered if Mailman 3 might offer native support for list renames, but
https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/156 suggests that while the devs
are open to the idea, it isn't supported yet.

Cheers,
Nick.

Good point. I agree that not disrupting list users is more important
than the list name.

There is a technical limitation that we would not be renaming the list as much 
as closing this one, and opening a new one.  That creates any number of social 
problems, for little to no benefit – the name is slightly more relevant at the 
cost of breaking everyone’s subscriptions, and the mail filters of anyone who 
filters.  There are any number of glitches and headaches for what end?

 

It sounds nice but, it causes more real pain than the theoretical pain the 
current name causes.

Hey all!

 

Given the direction we're moving with PEP 517/518, I propose that we rename 
this list to something like python-packaging or something similar, to make it a 
more relavantly named place for having discussions related to Python Packaging 
in general.

 

I'm curious what others think about this. I'm definitely open to thoughts and 
other ideas. :)

I don’t think we can rename a mailing list easily, we can create a new one and 
archive the old one but that has a lot of churn and breaks people’s filters, 
etc.

Maybe packaging-sig, to fit in with the other SIGs? See
