Mauro and I are subscribed to it. The list served its purpose while Wget was actively maintained. It's up to you whether to preserve it or replace it with a bug tracker patch submission process. > A brief glance at the archives seems to suggest that, for one reason > or another, it may be suffering a larger spam problem than the main > list; is this accurate? It's true. The main Wget list allows posting from non-subscribers, but requires an authentication response; that has worked well to prevent spam. The patches list doesn't have such a mechanism installed, which results in more spam. (Of course, it still uses the general antispam filter installed on the site, or the quantity of spam would be unbearable.)
