+1 for moving the lists ASAP.
Issues:
1. Spam: Bill, I'll send you subscriber lists privately. Let's not
post them the ASF Jira until we can confirm that JIRA attachments are
private (i.e. not visible by anyone without Infrastructure karma).
2. Timing: People constantly (un)subscribe, so we need to reconcile
subscriber list after we shut down objectstyle.org lists.
3. Moderation: What is this for? PPMC list? Other lists are public
with self-managed subscription and posting.
4. Administrative access: At least one of our developers must have
admin access to the lists (e.g. to help users to unsubscribe, etc.) I
volunteer to be one of the admins. One possibility is email-based
administration that ezmlm provides (I have no experience with it, but
it looks like it allows all the main functions - sub/unsub/list);
another is access to the list server box. If we can get that, all we
need from infra is empty lists in place. I can shut down
objectstyle.org lists and at the same time load the subscribers. This
will address (1) and (2).
