Hello everyone :)
I want to introduce myself, I'm Justus, I have worked on GnuPG in the
past and am now working on Sequoia-PGP, and I'm running two Mailman
installations in a resource constrained shared hosting environment.
I'd like to contribute a little to Mailman, and I'd like to better
understand how the Mailman project is doing nowadays. I have gotten a
bugfix merged in the past, but I now have what I think is a fairly
uncontroversial cleanup merge request that has neither been merged nor
has it gotten comments.
- https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/1158
As FOSDEM is around the corner, are any of you going to be there and are
up for a chat?
Besides cleanups and bugfixes, there are three things I'd like to do:
- Improve Mailman to better scale down to small installations
- Improve latency of messages
- Implement OpenPGP support
Here are the things I did so far:
- https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/1094
- https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/1050
- https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/1166
- I have Mailman running with runners in threads instead of processes,
but that is in a proof-of-concept stage at this point and needs some
cleaning up
(I understand that Mailman is a GNU project that wants copyright
assignments, and I have done that in the past for other GNU projects,
and would be happy to do that for Mailman, but at the same time I feel
like putting up *any* barrier to contributing is unfortunate.)
Best,
Justus
