Hi all,

A1) @lists.debian.org
Since the mailing list is also for discussion and coordination (not only
automatic mails) I think we qualify to use e.g.
wine-team@lists.d.o
I filed #898066 against lists.debian.org, starting a request for a
debian-wine list. Every interested person (maintainer, upstream
developer, user, ...) should state that by sending a mail to the bug.
Or if you object this list for whatever reason, please also tell so.
A2) alioth-lists.debian.net
There's also the mailing list continuation service (we missed the
deadline and did not opt in):
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/
https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/MailingListContinuation
I do not know if we could still use it (I'd prefer wine-team@l.d.o anyway).
According to a mail to debian-devel[1] it is still possible to opt-in:
"Migrate the list the new system. This is still possible, please appoint
a Debian developer as a list owner first, then contact the alioth lists
migration team <ad...@alioth-lists.debian.net> and provide all the
necessary information."
Since I don't know if we get a list at lists.d.o, and how long that
would take, I guess we should do this.
Note: there's also #alioth-lists on irc.debian.org to contact the admins.

A3) salsa.d.o
Mike already created the "wine-team" at salsa.d.o. [Thanks for adding
me, whoever it was.]. I still need to investigate if this offers some
good way of team communication, and how this works with the single
package projects at salsa. So I don't know if this could replace the
need for a "real" mailing list.
I found nothing useful for team communication.
A4) tracker.d.o
We may also create a team at tracker.d.o. Again, I don't know exactly
what benefits this has, and how mail works with teams there.
Emails sent to team+<slug>@tracker.debian.org are discarded (#891504).
Once fixed this could be used for team communication, but team mails are
not archived yet (https://salsa.debian.org/qa/distro-tracker/issues/14).
Further issues:
- Ownership can't be changed (#889163, Better team management)
- Bounce handler should manage team subscriptions too
(https://salsa.debian.org/qa/distro-tracker/issues/12)
So a tracker.d.o team is not a replacement for the need of an
mailinglist (yet), but useful generally in the long run with further
tracker improvements.
