Hi all,

Until a few years ago, mailing lists were the primary tool for
communicating on the development FLAC and other Xiph projects.
However, for FLAC, discussions have moved mostly to GitHub. Other Xiph
project mailing lists have also mostly fallen silent. Spam is however
still as much an issue as ever. if not worse with the advent of LLMs.
Maintenance of those lists is therefore a burden that is increasingly
disproportional to their use.

So, there is a proposal to close the flac and flac-dev mailing lists.
For the flac mailing list (for user questions) I'd say that is a done
deal: nothing of much value happens there anymore. The flac-dev
mailing list however has quite a few longtimers listening in and
occasionally replying. This is especially valuable to have different
perspectives when a new feature or functional changes get proposed.
I'd like to know whether you would be willing to move over to GitHub
discussions. GitHub would be the first choice because most discussions
already happen there anyway.

I'd like to hear some opinions on this matter.

Kind regards, Martijn van Beurden
