Very well - I've sent you an IM.

Thank you for the offer. Two questions:
1. Which sustainable provider should we use? Maybe Google Groups? A Google 
account is not needed to join.
2. Conventional mailing lists in general and mailman in particular feel some 
sort of out dated. Are there better alternatives nowadays?

Btw: we should distinguish between JavaScript (e.g. node.js) and Web (browser) 
encryption ;)

Who exactly?

I assume you've already something specific in mind. Could you start with it? 
Maybe at https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs/wiki

True.
