Hi gang, Henri-Damien visited the US this week for the Code4libCon conference in Portland and we had a chance to touch base for a few hours. One of the topics we discussed was the need that's arising for additional Koha mailing lists, particularly for non-English users of Koha. I've had several requests now from other language communities for a language-specific list that the community provides to that language community. BibLibre has graciously offered to host a Mailman installation for such lists, so the question arises, what domain shall we use? For instance, we could have lists.koha.org, with all of our community mailing lists (e.g., koha-devel@lists.koha.org) ... or we could stick with the simpler convention koha-devel@koha.org. On IRC, Paul made a good point that it's useful to distinguish between user accounts (ie, patches) and lists (ie, koha-devel). Any other opinions?

lists.koha.org would seem to make most sense to me, for similar reasons to those attributed to Paul. Is a better list software than Mailman possible? mlmmj, ecartis, sympa and eoc all appear better in some ways. Can the List-Id values be preserved if lists moved? Last I saw, Mailman couldn't cope with that (it had to be listname.domain), which breaks some good email filters. I think that should rule out Mailman if we're considering moving lists.
