TL;DR: Mailman 3 upgrade happened on November 4th, starting at 14:00 UTC, and ending around 21:00 UTC. Report issues on GitLab.
As mentioned in early October, we’re in the process of upgrading our main mail server, which includes upgrading to the shiny new Mailman 3 platform. This will involve short per-list outage as each migrates over to the new server. It’s unclear how long the maintenance will last, but assume mailing lists will be disrupted all day, although each migration should only take a couple of minutes each.
We have, right now, a prototype mailman 3 server available at:
https://lists-01.torproject.org/
The TPA mailing list has been succesfully migrated already and next week, I’ll start migrating the other mailing lists (including this one!).
Be warned that Mailman 3 is a significant upgrade from Mailman 2. There are some great things (like unified authentication), and some less great things (like a more complex design and “shinier” web interface that might not be everyone’s taste).
As a reminder, we’re doing this upgrade a little rushed because the main mail server is now unsupported for security upgrades. See the details of the proposal here:
