Re: [Twisted-Python] Moving the Twisted-Python and Twisted-Web mailing lists too Python mailman3
Great news. I'd be happy to move the mailing lists over to let someone else maintain their infrastructure. Particularly if we could get off of Mailman 2, which has been no fun to maintain.
Many personal email addresses of core team members (including, um, this one) are forwarded by our mail hosting provider, Mailgun, and so moving the MX records directly is a non-starter, but we could easily point lists.twistedmatrix.com <http://lists.twistedmatrix.com/> at python.org <http://python.org/>, or we could just use @python.org addresses and be quite happy. twisted at python.org <mailto:twisted at python.org> would be very cool. We could also maintain a forwarding alias for compatibility for a little while, but I'd kinda rather deprecate posting to twisted-python at twistedmatrix.com <mailto:twisted-python at twistedmatrix.com> for a couple of other reasons anyway. A forwarding alias seems the best choice. twisted@python.org is indeed cool
Do we have a way to get our pipermail archive URLs (which are linked in tickets, in source code, etc) to redirect to the fancy new hyperkitty interface, or should those just be static HTML? (I'm kinda fine with either, honestly, although the former would be nice if we can manage it easily.) I think the redirects would be fairly easy as the URL structure is the same
I am happy to coordinate off-list about a secure way to exchange these data files (or anyone with administrator access to Dornkirk can just do it directly). Please send the announcement of the new address here first so we know when to cut over posting, and so that folks aren't surprised to see a new list-id.
I can do magic wormhole
(At this point I think I'm happy to just nuke twisted-web as part of this migration; we can keep the archive up as static HTML for posterity, but it's mostly unused at this point, and the distinction doesn't make sense.)
I actually think it's better to move twisted-web first and see what it looks, then mess about there with redirects, then do the main mailing list. I think the redirects would be fairly easy as the URL structure is the same Thomas Grainger

Sounds like a good plan. Speaking of using testing areas rather than the most heavily used production stuff: One thing that perhaps bears mentioning here is that we do have a second domain name that I bought at some expense for the project - in part to celebrate its 20th anniversary at … PyCon 2020 (sob): twisted.org <http://twisted.org/>. If this minor emergency is sparking anyone's interest in slowly building some new infrastructure (like a new website) on clean, modern infra, without the pressure to keep something working continuously, we could host it all there and cut over twistedmatrix.com <http://twistedmatrix.com/> to be a redirect at the appropriate time. -g
