Re: [Feedback request] Decommissioning of unused mailing lists (>5yrs no postings)

Hi Erik,

I'd like to keep iolib-devel and possibly fset-devel (even if I don't own it it's an important project).

Cheers,
Stelian

Additionally, unused mailing lists may accrue spam mail in their archives, lowering the value of the archive. (Temporarily) Closing mailing lists can prevent this.
