Investigate and choose some sort of mailing list

Possibly. I was going to look around for various options.

If you come across any good ones, feel free to make a recommendation.

Closing this for now, since Discussions might meet the current need. We can always revisit if we find something more is needed.

Obarun uses mailman (I believe 3 mailman 2 requires systemd on arch) but you can get both PKGBUILDs and give it a try. Tons of python subdependencies.

On void (musl compiled sw)
[-] perl-Email-LocalDelivery-1.200_2 Deliver an email to a list of mailboxes
[-] public-inbox-1.6.1_1 An 'archives first' approach to mailing lists
[-] mlmmj-1.3.0_1 Mailing List Management Made Joyful

This is if your server will be running on mere :)

I think we shall need to host our own server for that, right?..

As a really low bar to entry, I just enabled Github's 'Discussions' feature on this project. Could start with that and see if it addresses the need before committing to something more involved.

if you look at skarnet's server and obarun.org they use a common listserv that is tried, kiss, and robust/reliable. I wouldn't trust MS services here of staying as they are or not getting worse. Already there are tons of scripts running on github like githubassets (3rd party).

@fungilife What backend software does skarnet and obarun use? Do you know its name? I really was wondering about it for a long time.

Thanks for the suggestions @fungilife. I'll take a look at these.
