I wasn't aware about a github forum until yesterday. If you move the list, just make sure you don't leave anyone behind :)

To me, the list is a very useful way to know what's going on in hb, I learn form other people's questions and even I participate sometimes. I'm sure my participation would be reduced to zero if I wasn't subscribed and I would only go to github when I had a problem.

    Exactly.  Use questions should be asked *here*, not on github.


People sometimes do ask questions on github, and so far it has not been a problem.

In response to Deepak's point re archives, I definitely use list archives for future reference as well. Github seems to be doing alright in search results as well. Eg.:

https://www.google.com/search?q=harfbuzz+cham+rendering

Anyway.  No action for now. :)
