user@ooo gets traffic. We would certainly want to direct that list membership to an [email protected] ML. I think that it would be a good indication to that part of the community. Other lists would might need a similar outreach. > The [email protected] mail addresses OTOH should be preserved. They > are only forwarding addresses now and they can be kept that way, can't they? Not sure about it. There are considerations. (1) How do we get the forwarding data from Oracle? Is it legal to transfer the list, or is it required? (2) Will the ASF host this forwarding on the normal apache.org mail servers (3) Who on the OOO PPMC will handle the daily administration of these forwarders as individual email addresses change?
