Package: lists.debian.org Hello Listmasters, This bugreport is for reporting myself for bracing the listmaster team. Because Alioth will be gone in some near future I'm offering my help to make that possible. If OK tell more about the backend of lists.debian.org. If not OK, also fine. I'll close this bug and find other tasks inside Debian. Groeten Geert Stappers Debian Developer
from the minutes of the Alioth Successors sprint Hamburg 2017: TODO: can we prepare an automation for importing existing lists (archive + subscribers; no settings) from alioth? <- formorer said there are some scripts (procedural descriptions) already where?
no, there won't be any kind of automation. Every list has to be checked on its own. Alex
The tooling I'm looking for is mailinglists that _passed_ the check "Is it a mailinglist that is worthy for lists.debian.org?" In other words: No, I'm _not_ asking for import each previous Alioth ML. Actually: I'm asking which tools of trade the listmasters have. Groeten Geert Stappers
Hi Geert! I think what is meant there is that we (as listmasters) have scripts to create lists; this creation can - partly - be automated with a prepared list of new mailinglists. But this is still something we have to create or update. how many new lists would that be and are they all debian-related or will they use another hostname? best regards, Hanno Wagner
And I want to help with that.
* currently there are 1384 lists on alioth
* the most widely used list types:
500 commits
383 devel
220 maintainers
40 discuss
35 users
19 announce
15 general
10 bugs
* the "commmits" lists functionality should be superseded by the
notification feature of the new development platform
* "bugs" is superseded by the issue tracker
* the list types "devel", "maintainers", "discuss", "users", "announce"
and "general" are probably acceptable for being hosted on lists.d.o
service
Even if there will be only fifty granted requests
it does can sense to improve tooling.
I didn't know another hostname then lists.debian.org would be possible.
Please educate this wanna be listmaster.
Groeten
Geert Stappers
Fine for now.
