I have to take back my vote for librelist. By chance I read some Mails from Flask (a python web-framework) which used to host their mailing-lists there and decided to move to mail.python.org. Turns out librelist didn't use mailman and some users were unable to subscribe to the list, while Zed Shaw seems to have abandoned his librelist project.[1]
So bugs, non-conventional software and halting development throws librelist out of the race. Another thing: Personally I couldn't find a mailman hoster that's free for opensource projects. Unless you'd count riseup.[2] [1]: http://librelist.com/browser//flask/2015/7/14/switch-mailing-list-software-away-from-librelist/ [2]: https://lists.riseup.net/ Am 14.04.2016 um 11:54 schrieb alex.: > Also a 'nay' on Google Groups from me. > > And I also concur with Lionel Orry: Librelist is just awesome. > Personally I've had the best mailing list experience with lists hosted > their - although that might just say something about the quality of the > projects hosted there. > > Afaik it also uses mailman and from their help page as a list owner you > seem to have good access to archive data, so porting them over is > probably easily doable.
