I'd be happy to be a list mod for Lucy.
Oh, also it wasn't clear to me from the reply to this mail whether you guys
were about to file INFRA tickets to get the mailing lists set up or to try and
do that yourself. It looks like you know what to do, so please +1, move
fwd...don't mind me!
Cheers,
Chris

Greets,
I'm about to make the INFRA request to migrate our mailing lists. For new
projects, this step is documented at...
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/mentor.html#request-mailing-lists
Migration is a little different. Infra will set up the new lists, copy all
subscriber information, and set up forwards for the old lists. This is how
it is done when e.g. a project graduates from incubation:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-2656 (Nutch migration to TLP)
I note that it is possible to set up subject prefixes:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-2777 (Zeta dev prefixing)
Subject prefixes are not a tradition for Lucene sub-projects, but I prefer it,
and since Peter goes so far as to manually insert "[Lucy]" into our subject
headers, I imagine he does too. :) It is possible to filter based on
recipient, but anyone who has set up such filters is about to have them break
as the mailing list address changes from @lucene.a.o to @infrastructor.a.o --
and during a Lucy migration to TLP, such filtering would break once again.
I propose subject prefixes matching the list names:
lucy-...@incubator [lucy-dev]
lucy-us...@incubator [lucy-users]
lucy-comm...@incubator [lucy-commits]
lucy-priv...@incubator [lucy-private]
Additionally, the moderators for the existing Lucy lists are myself and Dave
Balmain (who's inactive). For the new lists, we should have more than just
me.
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/mentor.html#request-mailing-lists
Apache mailing lists require volunteer moderators. New moderators can be
changed later but at least one volunteer is required before the mailing
lists can be set up. Moderation is a reasonably easy task though
moderators may want to set up spam filtering. Having at least three
moderators is recommended to spread the load.
Volunteers? It hasn't been a heavy burden.
