@hyc@mastodon.social IIRC, there were two problems: spammers flooded community mailing lists to the point that it was almost impossible to handle that and the second issue was migration of the Red Hat's malining lists off mailman to other platform. We ended up migrating mailing lists to Fedora's mailman. To date, freeipa-users@ is in top three most active mailing lists in Fedora community. Loss of original archives was a sad history.

@abbra@mastodon.social I can understand how the spammer issue could cause problems but... we've migrated OpenLDAP's mailing list systems twice between then and now, and we still migrated all the archives each time. Without preserving that shared knowledge you lose the ability to understand how you got where you are today.
