Hello, |
| 2 |
As suggested in bug 291860, I am heading up an infra cleanup project to |
| 3 |
disable/close some mailing lists. Since the list is quite large, I want |
| 4 |
to send it out for RFC. A few of the important reasons to disable some |
| 5 |
of our mail lists are: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
* Confusing to users because there are so many lists that aren't being |
| 8 |
used. How should you know which one is active without more research? |
| 9 |
* More lists means more managing, more spam attempts and infra overhead. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I want to emphasize that the lists will be closed for new posts but the |
| 12 |
archives will remain available. Disabled lists can be re-enabled by |
| 13 |
filing an infra-bugs request. My suggestions to disable are as follows: |
