Python's mailing lists use mailman 3: https://www.python.org/community/lists/
What is the problem with the UI ? It seems far, far more useable than pipermail and hyperkitty feels like a forum. If upgrading isn't possible, well then I guess bad luck. The mailman focs doesn't make it look that hard (is it skipping over OSM server specific steps that make the process harder?) https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html Thanks, IpswichMapper-- 14 Dec 2020, 18:45 by [email protected]: > It's not going to happen. > > Virtually nobody uses mailman 3 with the exception of Fedora > and I know from using it there that the UI is a disaster. > > Also it's not packaged for Ubuntu and it's far more complicated to deploy > than what we have. > Don't think of mailman 3 as an upgrade - it's basically a > totally different product. > > There is talk of a change, but it won't be to mailman 3. > > Tom > > On 14/12/2020 18:42, [email protected] wrote: > >> Okay thanks, I'll contact him on github.
