Wouldn't this make it more difficult for sites that archive the lists?
Right now it all works. If the lists were eliminated then it would be
harder to archive. Not impossible, but it would be more work.

Plus, how long would it take for archive sites to switch over? How much
history would only exist in Phab's database?

Couldn't the commit lists be made read-only except from Phab? That would
force reviews to happen on Phab but otherwise keep all existing email
setups working.

I occasionally respond the email list to report a broken commit,
especially if the commit was not based on a Phabriacator review.

However, Phabricator also create a discussion page for each commit, I
could just add a comment there.

Is there still a discussion to eventually move to reviews on GitHub?
That might have an influence on what we are going to do with *-commits
mailing lists?
