Just personal preference (of myself and others). While I wish that mailman would have some improvements, overall it's suitable for our needs. It served us well. I probably just don't know what I am missing out, but I still don't see it. NetworkManager historically is both a GNOME and a freedesktop project (we use gitlab.freedesktop.org, while applet and VPN plugins are on gitlab.gnome.org). Having a freedesktop mailing list would fit the project too. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't know where else to migrate and would stronger consider discourse. On a side note, it's not a big problem... But I don't understand the urgency of sending an announcment and shutting the list down (basically) immediately afterwards. A longer grace period would have been better. I was ignorant of these plans. That ignorance is my fault, but a simple email to the list would have helped. > > > It's also unclear whether we should try to automatically subscribe > > the > > current list subscribers to the new place.

Thank you. I probably will come back to you about this. As GNOME plans to leave the archive up as read-only, that's sufficient. But I am worried that on a few years that will be shut down and the history lost. If that ever happens, we should try to archive the history somewhere. Would it be possible to get a dump of the entire archive?
