Bug ID: 58959
Summary: Subscribe all missing public mailing lists to Gmane
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified

Status: NEW
Keywords: easy
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
End goal is having full archives there (bug 57246), but that can be done later.
1) Take the list of all publicly archived mailing lists:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/
2) List all those which are not yet in
http://dir.gmane.org/search.php?match=gmane.org.wikimedia or
http://dir.gmane.org/index.php?prefix=gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia and
add the list here as comment (this can be helped by bug 58957 but can be done
independently from that).
3) Subscribe each of them at http://gmane.org/subscribe.php , filling the
fields in this way (don't touch the others):
a) Mailing list email address: <name>@lists.wikimedia.org, e.g.
advocacy_advisors/ 2013-Dec-03 03:27:08 - Directory ->
advocacy_advis...@lists.wikimedia.org,
b) Description: the description on [[m:Mailing lists/Overview]] if present, or
whatever https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/<name> says, or nothing.
c) Mailing list software: mailman
d) [IMPORTANT!] Group name: follow existing patterns, so
gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.<LanguageNameInEnglishAllLowercase> for
Wikipedia mailing lists, or gmane.org.wikimedia.<MailingListName> (without any
-l) for all the rest unless a more specific parent exists, in particular
"india" for Indian groups, "usa" for USA groups and "mediawiki" for all
MediaWiki-related lists [1] [2] [3]
e) [Optional] Language: the list's language if not English; Localisation: yes
f) Your email address: my email address, federicoleva@ (bugzilla tells you it);
g) Comments: "We hope to be able to provide mbox archives too for completeness
at a later stage but we'll appreciate the inclusion of the lists just for posts
from now on too".
I also propose this as GCI task, I'll review the job done based on the
confirmation emails I receive. Very easy with above instructions, just a bit
tedious (last time I added about a hundred lists it took a couple hours I
think).
