[kde-community] Closing the kde-core-devel mailing list

Hello people Random Idea: How about we close the k-c-d mailing list? It's main purpose used to be to discuss kdelibs changes, but now since we have kde-frameworks, the mailing list seems less useful. We already have kde-devel for other generic kde stuff. -- Vishesh Handa

Ping? What's the status of this? I have a copy of Baloo on github, and I have been thinking of creating a "KDE Baloo" organization (or KDE) so that it is not under my name. I would obviously prefer an official mirror instead of me updating it manually. -- Vis
