Notice: List Infrastructure Migration

Be advised that starting this week bitcoin-dev, lightning-dev and other Bitcoin-oriented lists currently still active at https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo will begin migration to the Linux Foundation's new list infrastructure operated by groups.io. You may continue to use these lists as-is until each list is notified that migration is complete. It is unclear when the switch-over happens because we need imports to complete without error and some testing to pass.

IMPORTANT: If you do not wish to be auto-subscribed to the new list management system then please unsubscribe prior to the migration.

ARCHIVES: The archives are of utmost importance for prior art and historic value. We are working on a plan with the Linux Foundation sysadmins to ensure the current archive permalinks will remain as-is static or to redirect to the correct post that lives at a new archive.

https://lwn.net/Articles/748184/ The new archive will be operated independently outside from the Linux Foundation as generated by this open source tool. This hopefully will allow all future archives to never move again even if the underlying list infrastructure needs to change. Folks will appreciate the search function and git clone for a local instance.

More details to be posted here soon.

Where will that git archive actually be created/maintained? As this will be a Git repo, looks like getting it timestamped could be as simple as installing OpenTimestamps appropriately on whatever server is actually maintaining it.

Equally, it'd be good to have the archive PGP signed.

Also, quick question, is groups.io has same structure as Linux Foundation? foundation/transparency/openness... I think in general it would be great if this migration will be communicated much more in advance with relaxed timelines, just by examining priori cases, it's all suggestions. hope next phase will be more inclusive and open.
