@AndreKlapper We should probably remove this mailing list from the description page in Google Summer of Code (this <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2021/organizations/5270263742070784/> was what the page looked like last year) and add links to more beginner-friendly starting points (New_Developers, How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker, Zulip chat, IRC etc) instead.
IMO, that page is more popular among new developers compared to the one hosted on mediawiki.org, since quite a lot of new developers will go through lists of previously chosen organizations that are available on the Summer of Code website and then choose a few cool projects rather than Googling for a specific organization and their status wrt to GSoC.
