Ah, fair enough, I'll unsubscribe from the new list then; If folk need
me, you know where to find me.

Correct, that was covered in more detail in the longer original
announcement linked from my past couple of reminders:

http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-September/134911.html

In short, we're recommending client-side filtering because
server-side topic selection/management was not retained in Mailman 3
as Thierry indicates and we hope we might move our lists to an MM3
instance sometime in the not-too-distant future.

Which is its initial location for crowd-sourcing/brainstorming, but
will get published to a more durable location like on
lists.openstack.org itself or perhaps the Project-Team Guide once
the list is in use.

As we are ultimately planning to move lists to mailman3 (which decided
to drop the "topics" concept altogether), I don't think we planned to
add serverside mailman topics to the new list.

We'll still have standardized subject line topics. The current list
lives at:

There don't seem to be any topics defined for -discuss yet, I hope
there will be, as I'm certainly not in a position of enough bandwidth
to handle everything *stack related.

I'd suggest one for each previously list, at minimum.

Up to you, certainly. You don't actually need to enter anything in
the password fields on the subscription page (as the instructions on
it also indicate). You can alternatively subscribe by sending E-mail
to openstack-discuss-requ...@lists.openstack.org with a subject line
of "subscribe" if you prefer.

[openstack-dev] [all] We're combining the lists! (was: Bringing the community together...)

2018-09-20 Thread Jeremy Stanley
tl;dr: The openstack, openstack-dev, openstack-sigs and
openstack-operators mailing lists (to which this is being sent) will
be replaced by a new openstack-disc...@lists.openstack.org mailing
list. The new list is open for subscriptions[0] now, but is not yet
accepting posts until Monday November 19 and it's strongly
recommended to subscribe before that date so as not to miss any
messages posted there. The old lists will be configured to no longer
accept posts starting on Monday December 3, but in the interim posts
to the old lists will also get copied to the new list so it's safe
to unsubscribe from them any time after the 19th and not miss any
messages. Now on to the details...

The original proposal[1] I cross-posted to these lists in August
received overwhelmingly positive feedback (indeed only one strong
objection[2] was posted, thanks Thomas for speaking up, and my
apologies in advance if this makes things less convenient for you),
which is unusual since our community usually tends to operate on
silent assent and tacit agreement. Seeing what we can only interpret
as majority consensus for the plan among the people reading messages
posted to these lists, a group of interested individuals met last
week in the Infrastructure team room at the PTG to work out the
finer details[3]. We devised a phased timeline:

During the first phase (which begins with this announcement) the new
openstack-discuss mailing list will accept subscriptions but not
posts. Its short and full descriptions indicate this, as does the
welcome message sent to all new subscribers during this phase. The
list is configured for "emergency moderation" mode so that all
posts, even those from subscribers, immediately land in the
moderation queue and can be rejected with an appropriate message. We
strongly recommend everyone who is on any of the current general
openstack, openstack-dev, openstack-operators and openstack-sigs
lists subscribe to openstack-discuss during this phase in order to
avoid missing any messages to the new list. Phase one lasts roughly
one month and ends on Monday November 19, just after the OpenStack
Stein Summit in Berlin.

The second phase picks up at the end of the first. During this
phase, emergency moderation is no longer in effect and subscribers
can post to the list normally (non-subscribers are subject to
moderation of course in order to limit spam). Any owners/moderators
from the original lists who wish it will be added to the new one to
collaborate on moderation tasks. At this time the openstack-discuss
list address itself will be subscribed to posts from the openstack,
openstack-dev, openstack-operators and openstack-sigs mailing lists
so anyone who wishes to unsubscribe from those can do so at any time
during this phase without missing any replies sent there. The list
descriptions and welcome message will also be updated to their
production prose. Phase two runs for two weeks ending on Monday
December 3.

The third and final phase begins at the end of the second, when
further posts to the general openstack, openstack-dev,
openstack-operators and openstack-sigs lists will be refused and the
descriptions for those lists updated to indicate they're
indefinitely retired from use. The old archives will still be
preserved of course, but no new content will appear in them.

A note about DMARC/DKIM: during the planning discussion we also
spoke briefly about the problems we encounter on the current lists
whereby subscriber MTAs which check DKIM signatures appearing in
some posts reject them and cause those subscribers to get
unsubscribed after too many of these bounces. While reviewing the
various possible mitigation options available to us, we eventually
resolved that the least objectionable solution was to cease
modifying the list subject and body. As such, for the new
openstack-discuss list you won't see [openstack-discuss] prepended
to message subjects, and there will be no list footer block added to
the message body. Rest assured the usual RFC 2369 List-* headers[4]
will still be added so MUAs can continue to take filtering actions
based on them as on our other lists.

I'm also including a couple of FAQs which have come up over the
course of this...

Why make a new list instead of just directing people to join an
existing one such as the openstack general ML? For one, the above
list behavior change to address DMARC/DKIM issues is a good reason
to want a new list; making those changes to any of the existing
lists is already likely to be disruptive anyway as subscribers may
be relying on the subject mangling for purposes of filtering list
traffic. Also as noted earlier in the thread for the original
proposal, we have many suspected defunct subscribers who are not
bouncing (either due to abandoned mailboxes or MTAs black-holing
them) so this is a good opportunity to clean up the subscriber list
and reduce the overall amount of E-mail unnecessarily sent by the
server.

Why not simply auto-subscribe everyone from
