Syslinux - Feb 2019 - "syslinux-commits" mailing list and archive. WAS:Testing, please excuse the noise...

Testing updated mailman configuration...

We now have a new archive repo at zytor.com. Almost all resources and 
communication channels depend on zytor.com being on-line, including the 
mailing list itself.

Please note how the "bounces..." address is still "at
zytor.com".
Whether that has any (positive or negative) influence in some case / 
support / troubleshooting / configuration, I don't know at this point.

So it makes me wonder...

what's the reason and/or goal to change the mailing list address?

Will the zytor.com email address be accepting emails anyway (at least 
for some time)?

This might be more important / relevant for sporadic / non-frequent 
senders (whether subscribed to the list or not). Some subscribed 
members of the list might be receiving it in "Digest" form, so this 
info should be clearly promoted.

Sending a special notice (similar or together with the monthly notice) 
to all subscribed members with relevant details might also be important 
for anti-spammer systems and similar (address-based) blockers and/or 
(organization) filters. Otherwise, a new email address might be 
(silently, automatically) rejected / blocked in some cases.

TIA,
Ady.

BTW, until very recently, we used to have a "syslinux-commits" mailing
list (and its archive).

Would it be possible to have "syslinux-commits" back (and its
archive)?

IIRC, it was "linked" to the commits published at

 git.zytor.com/syslinux/syslinux.git/ 

but I could be misremembering.

It would be helpful if the "syslinux-commits" mailing list (and 
archive) would be re-established _before_ updating the git.zytor.com 
repo with the recent commits.

TIA,
Ady.
