The commit messages are being sent to an e-mail address (which can be a
mailing list) due to project configuration. Maybe that's an option for
issue updates too. Not sure.

Neither of these exist on common-lisp.net, or at least, not if I have to go
by https://mailman.common-lisp.net/listinfo. There *is* an archive for
[email protected], but no trace of [email protected]
(there is [email protected], though).

We'll be happy to host them!

Hmm. that's too bad. Is that something you need a hand with? We could ask
the CLF to contact that person (don't know who it is, so no idea what I'm
up against...)

Mind if I migrate these to mailman3 now then? Once migrated, I won't be
looking at them anymore and they're very low volume anyway, so migrating
now won't interfere with on-going fierce discussions :-)

Yep. But it should be straight forward, at least for the commit mails. It's
even documented in the site FAQ: https://common-lisp.net/faq/emailonpush
