I propose moving the kvm lists to vger.kernel.org, for the following benefits:

- better spam control
- faster service (I see significant lag with the sourceforge lists)
- no ads appended to the end of each email

If no objections are raised, and if the vger postmasters agree, I will mass subscribe the current subscribers so that there will be no service interruption.

Opinions?

Yeah, finally we don't need to meet something like this everyday:

I'm fine with adding the list, but we don't do mass subscribes like that, and this rule applies to every list which moves to vger from somewhere else.

People will need to subscribe themselves to the new list.

We enforce this for two reasons:

1) If they don't go through the action of subscribing, they won't be able to unsubscribe, so they'll be upset and also bug us postmasters for help.

2) People are generally unhappy when they are subscribed to mailing lists at a site they didn't ask to be at.

Sounds good to me.

Will we continue to have manual moderation for non-subscribers? That seems to be a good way to handle the last 1% of spam that sneaks through the automated filters.

kvm-devel doesn't do manual moderation. If vger has the infrastructure, I don't see why you can't continue doing this on kvm-ppc-devel.

btw, we can probably shorten the names to kvm@ and kvm-$arch@ while we're at it.

Please don't do this for the kvm-ia64 list either.

Either way works IMHO.

Since no objections were raised, we'll start to get this rolling.

Should I create the list(s) now? If so, please let me know the names they should have.

Thanks.

Hi, please create the following lists for kvm:

kvm (x86 and general discussion)
kvm-ppc (powerpc, managed by Hollis Blanchard) kvm-ia64 (ia64)
kvm-commits (read-only, tracks commits to kvm git HEAD)

Thanks.

Thanks.
