Getting Oriented with Mailman Core
by hjasaiwal114 Feb. 21, 2026

Feb. 21, 2026

Hello everyone, My name is Himanshu, and I’m new to the Mailman community. I’ve recently started reading through the Mailman 3 architecture and codebase with the intention of contributing. At the moment, I’m focusing on understanding Mailman Core particularly how message processing and archiving integrate with HyperKitty. I’m reading the documentation and source, but wanted to ask here to make sure I’m orienting myself correctly. For a new contributor aiming to start with a small but meaningful change, would you recommend any specific areas or modules in Mailman Core that are good entry points? Thanks in advance, and I’m looking forward to learning and contributing. Best regards, Himanshu

Hello Mailman Developers, My name is Jayant, and I am interested in contributing to GNU Mailman as a prospective GSoC 2026 participant. I have experience working with Python and open-source projects and have started exploring the Mailman 3 repositories on GitLab to understand the architecture and development workflow. I would appreciate guidance on beginner-friendly issues or areas within Mailman Core or related components where new contributors can start contributing effectively. Looking forward to learning and contributing to the project. Best regards, Jayant
