I know that Discource users have a "mailing list mode". Wouldn't that allow us to solve the problem of splitting discussions by setting up a Discourse to Mailman bridge similar to the way python-list mailing list is mirrored to comp.lang.python? - Set up a user on Discourse in email mode, with address set to python-committers; hence comments on Discourse will be sent here. - Set up a user in mailman that sends to Discourse; responses made here will be sent to that user, which in turn will be sent to Discourse. Some cleverness will be needed to prevent loops of course. I think mailman supports a mode of "Don't send me copies of my own posts", which may be sufficient. But at worst we ought to be able to easily mirror the discourse discussions here as a read-only archive. If we're going to do anything clever like this, we ought to get some experience with it on a low-volume mailing list like this before somebody proposes it for Python-Ideas or Python-List. -- Steven _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
