So the reason we were thinking of ditching launchpad for mailing lists: 1. When there was a MariaDB-Manager google group, that group got a lot of user posts about MariaDB Server. That group now no longer exists, but it gave us a hint that people are interested in a Google group 2. We moved everything from Launchpad (bugs to Jira, code to Github) and the only thing remaining is mailing lists 3. The MariaDB Knowledgebase: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/ used to have an OpenID login that would be useful if you had a LP account, but OpenID is apparently going away (or gone), so there’s less use for LP 4. LaunchPad itself seems to be “hard” for people to signup (see #1). > Aside of that, if the already self-hosted lists are working well and you > already know how to maintain properly it its probbaly the best course but > mail routing (rate-limiting, avoiding blacklisting, possibly using multiple > outgoing IPs) might become an issue if the number of subscribers is very > important (but it definitely isnt the case ATM, less than 400 for > maria-discuss and about the same for maria-developers).
