Package: lists.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi listadmins,

I was unaware of the existence of the debian-research mailing list
before today. And that's quite odd, as I have followed activities
regarding "Debian from an academic perspective" for several years!

When I got to the list archives, it all became obvious: It is a
non-list. The last non-spam mail is from 2014. The last mail that got
a reply is from 2011. There are several interesting mails between 2005
and 2010, but we don't seem to be able even to reply to mails there
anymore.

My request, thus, is to remove this list. Having it listed might lead
externals into believing that's the place to invite people to
participate in studies, or to send CfPs, or to solve non-technical
questions (all of those cases have happened). It is a non-service, as
those people are likely just wasting their time waiting for an answer;
they might try some better places instead, or just give up on Debian
and go elsewhere.

Thanks for considering this request!
