Well, the point is to reduce maintenance and keeping the ML alive would not lower this effort, since we get quite a bit of spam to the list.On Mon, 13 Nov 2023 at 10:18, Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@egenix.com> wrote:

Question: Should we retire and archive this mailing list ?
(I'm asking as one of the maintainers of the ML)
[...]Hi Marc-Andre,
Maybe just require senders to be members of the python.org domain, and retain the release announcements?
Kind regards,Steve
PS: Your mail triggered a visit to https://www.python.org/community/lists/ - it seems it could use some updates. For example, comp.lang.python-announce is a news URL, which in this day and age will baffle most visitors! At the very least the page could point to the Discourse list.
Yes, the page could use some editing.
c.l.p.a does have a corresponding ML associated with it. It's probably better to point to that instead of the newsgroup.
If you have suggestions for edits, please forward them offline. I can then put them up there.
Thanks,
