Not a confidence builder. Which means, yeah, lurkers like me will likely
disappear from the community.


Lurking is comparatively easy, though - if you are on
https://discourse.gnome.org/tag/gimp and logged in (this isn't really a
different requirement to being subscribed to a mailing list), you have
the notifications bell icon on that site, and can select there what kind
of notification mails you are receiving for this tag. I've set this to
"Watching", for example - this should allow me to follow the discussions
just like on an existing list.

One downside is that you can't really determine from the notification
mails that they are for the gimp tag, but their List-ID header tells you
that they are from GNOME discourse, at least.

What can be expected is a much higher volume than on the lists, though -
so taking care of the notifications with mail client rules is likely a
necessity.

Now we could always try to fight against the current and persuade
GNOME infrastructure team, but we made a small opinion tour among the
current core team and nobody really had particular love or use of our
mailing lists. Also we realize it's very low volume these days (barely
a few threads per month, counting all mailing lists together). Myself
I barely look at mailing lists every once in a while and make a random
answer sometimes. And there were several mailing lists I was not even
subscribed to (I did for the sake of this announcement). So that's
probably why none from the core team is really trying to fight this
change.

There is one more thing to take into consideration: more
infrastructure means more work. I said it above, I am exhausted by
this all. I was only managing one of the mailing lists so far (the
gimp-gui one, the most recent) and still had to regularly handle
spams. I am personally thankful that this work goes to GNOME admins now.


Spam did indeed heavily outweigh the on-topic messages on the other five
mailing lists for quite some time - and anyone who's ever maintained a
mailman-based mailing list can likely confirm that spam handling there
is not as comfortable as doing this in e.g. a capable mail client.

You make it sound like introducing this tag was a wrong decision. As I 
introduced it as a way to group thhese issues together, did I do something 
wrong there?
