FYI, a team has volunteered to migrate the mailinglists from alioth to a new host when Alioth gets shut down. https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/MailingListContinuation The actual migration to the new host is an opt-in process to be triggered by the list owners. I expect about 50% of the lists to go away on request of the owners (a lot of -commit lists) or due to a lack of response. We can just send you a list of still-existing lists when the migration is complete, then you could drop everything that is not on this list. Is that okay for you? Bernhard
