Sure - you've already got a category on Discourse for the travel
committee, and people can email travel-commit...@discourse.gnome.org :)

Damned Lies can indeed notify Discourse - there's an email interface if
needed, which is what the release team ended up doing. However, I think
a better idea is to rethink the workflow a little... I'll follow up on
the issue :)

There's a couple missing from your list (like -cyr) and a couple that
haven't seen postings since 2009 (like -latin), but yes.

Let's continue over on

I've gone through every mailing list that we host, and broadly split
them into two categories - lists that can be closed and ones that
should be migrated to discourse.

For those which should close, they've had very low activity (in some
cases, zero...). For those that should move, I've made sure that
there's tags in place so people can filter for a specific subject if
they want. Please see the attached.

For both, the archives will be preserved, but they won't accept or
distribute any new mail after the end of October.

Again, as a reminder, if you have any automation that's posting to
mailing lists, let me know (Thanks to the release team for having
already done so :P).

Thanks,
Neil

Moving final mailman lists over to discourse

2022-08-22 Thread Neil McGovern
Hi folks,

As mentioned about three years ago, there's a desire to retire mailman
and its dependencies on python2. Discussion is now happening on
discourse.gnome.org.

Over the coming month, I'll be going through each list that remains,
seeing if they're still alive and moving them over [0]

The main large ones that remain are foundation-(announce-)list and
desktop-(announce-)list. If you have any automatic email senders for
those, please let me know so we can either update your scripts to use
the API, or just update the email address.

Thanks,
Neil

The solution they're using is federation turned off.

I don't believe it requires Github, especially given that Gitlab itself
has listings on there that point to their own gitlab instance :)

I think this is currently one of the sticking points I'm having when
going through the verification process - there's not really the
understanding of what a native 'app' is. So thanks for that clarity!

Just to confirm though, is this for working on the extension review
infrastructure, or actually doing reviews? That may change the answer

Hi Michael,

I think first, I'll reach out to Google folks to see if this can be
adjusted. I suspect it's an oversight - a lot of the issues that are
being brought up seem to infer that this is being thought of as a
webapp centric use, rather than how we do it natively.
