I'm not sure if qemu's current list hosting (@nongnu.org, run by FSF) is available, but it does a lot better at spam management. Also, qemu recently aligned with the Software Freedom Conservancy https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-07/msg04802.html and as such may have advice on how to migrate canonical management of a project. Since qemu is one of the NBD implementations, there's at least a relationship to consider. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
