Sounds good. Since Karl agreed that the list should not be split, we'll keep it as libmicroht...@gnu.org and of course an alias from bug-libmicrohttpd to the list would be great. I'm currently in DC, I'll talk to our admin at DU to get the archives once I'm back in Denver in a few days. I'll then make the mbox available to you so you can set up the archive.
Thanks for your help!
