1 Hi,
2
3 I'm no longer using mailman personally, thus I'm not interested in
4 maintaining it any more.
5
6 The mailman packages currently in portage are the mailman 3 split
7 packages, which involve multiple packages providing the functionality,
8 plus a large number of dependencies. (Unfortunately with the switch
9 from mailman 2 to 3 upstream decided not only to move from python 2 to
10 3, but also to make the whole thing far more complicated and involve
11 far more dependencies...)
12
13 If you're interested in maintaining this please add yourself to the
14 metadata.xml of these packages:
15
16 dev-python/django-allauth
17 dev-python/django-appconf
18 dev-python/django-compressor
19 dev-python/django-extensions
20 dev-python/django-gravatar2
21 dev-python/django-haystack
22 dev-python/django-picklefield
23 dev-python/django-q
24 dev-python/python3-openid
25 dev-python/rcssmin
26 dev-python/robot-detection
27 net-mail/django-mailman3
28 net-mail/hyperkitty
29 net-mail/mailmanclient
30 net-mail/mailman
31 net-mail/mailman-meta
32 net-mail/postorius
33
34 If noone steps up maintaining this I'n not entirely sure what to do
35 with it, maybe just remove everything? (Including the python
36 dependencies that aren't used by any other package I guess.)
