We don't have admin access to the python.org <http://python.org>
lists, so this is a bit of a problem. We have never had a spam
problem, so we can ask to block this user first. If it continues to
happen, we may be able to moderate new subscriber emails, but we do
need to ask for permissions first and I'm not sure we'll get them.
A better solution longer term is migrating to Discourse, which has
far better moderation tools than Mailman and is also more
approachable for people not used to mailing lists (which is most
newcomers to open source). Migrating is a bit of a pain, but with the
new CZI grant having a focus on improving the contributor experience,
we should be able to do this.
I would like to offer the use of https://discuss.scientific-python.org
<https://discuss.scientific-python.org>. I would be happy to handle
email list migration, and have created the following two categories
for NumPy discussion:
User discussion: https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/user/numpy
<https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/user/numpy/19>
Contributor discussion:
https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/contributor/numpy
<https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/contributor/numpy/18>
We're happy to support this as part of the Scientific Python ecosystem
grant, and will give admin rights to anyone on the NumPy developer
team who wants to help manage / moderate discussions.
Of course, we can also just delete these if the team prefers to have
their discussions somewhere else. But I think there is a benefit to
bringing community discussions together in one place.
Best regards,
Stéfan
Thanks for the offer to host the discussions on discourse. Personally, I
find the email interface to discourse very clunky. I would prefer we
exhaust the possibilities to stay on e-mail only before moving to discourse.
