Ok, as asked by the originator of this request, currently I see no specific problems in moving to use [email protected] and [email protected], but for the fact that the the main list is an open one (with probably a better antispam management). Other people did express some concerns about that. Note that also the current pkg-grass-devel list is open, but rules are good enough to avoid spamming AFAIK. My own pro is that I could avoid to loose time to manage the two lists :)
About the history, as explained on the wiki: ---- An existing mailing list can be moved to lists.debian.org: the administrator of the list has to submit a request as described above and provide us with a list of subscribers (in plain text format, one address per line). Archives of the existing list can also be imported from files in mbox format (preferably split per month). ---- So I *think* the past history could be moved from alioth to lists.d.o. I can surely provide a subscribers list too. -- Francesco P. Lovergine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
