And I want to help with that.
> how many new lists would that be
* 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* the "commmits" lists functionality should be superseded by the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* "bugs" is superseded by the issue tracker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.
