[kvm-ppc-devel] Moving kvm lists to kernel.org?

[Avi K. <av...@qu...>]

I propose moving the kvm lists to vger.kernel.org, for the following 
benefits:

- better spam control
- faster service (I see significant lag with the sourceforge lists)
- no ads appended to the end of each email

If no objections are raised, and if the vger postmasters agree, I will 
mass subscribe the current subscribers so that there will be no service 
interruption.

Opinions?

Yeah, finally we don't need to meet something like this everyday:

I'm fine with adding the list, but we don't do mass subscribes like
that, and this rule applies to every list which moves to vger from
somewhere else.

People will need to subscribe themselves to the new list.

We enforce this for two reasons:

1) If they don't go through the action of subscribing, they
   won't be able to unsubscribe, so they'll be upset and
   also bug us postmasters for help.

2) People are generally unhappy when they are subscribed to
   mailing lists at a site they didn't ask to be at.

Okay.  Will give people a week's notice to subscribe.

kvm-devel doesn't do manual moderation.  If  vger has the 
infrastructure, I don't see why you can't continue doing this on 
kvm-ppc-devel.

btw, we can probably shorten the names to kvm@ and kvm-$arch@ while 
we're at it.

Please don't do this for the kvm-ia64 list either.

Either way works IMHO.

Sounds good to me.

Will we continue to have manual moderation for non-subscribers? That seems to 
be a good way to handle the last 1% of spam that sneaks through the automated 
filters.

Since no objections were raised, we'll start to get this rolling.

Should I create the list(s) now?  If so, please let me know the
names they should have.

Thanks.

Thanks. I about a week I'll make the sourceforge lists read-only.
