[ncc-services-wg] Mailing Lists Migration from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3

Dear colleagues,

In response to the community concerns regarding using the outdated Mailman
2 software for the RIPE mailing lists, RIPE NCC is starting the migration
process to the Mailman 3 software suite. This upgrade will enhance the user
interface and message archives for these lists. We expect to complete this
work by 14 July 2024.

Previously, we successfully updated our internal mailing lists to Mailman 3
and the ASO and NRO mailing lists, containerising them in the process. This
latest migration extends those improvements to these external mailing lists
as well.

What will change?

Mailman 2 and Mailman 3 are entirely different products, which brings some
changes in the observed behaviour.

   - The location of the email archives. The new address of the archive
   will be: https://mailman.ripe.net/archives/list/{list-name}@ripe.net/
   - The subscription address will be changed to {list-name}-join at ripe.net
   - To maintain historical links to the archives, we’re planning to turn
   this into a static website at: https://lists.ripe.net/

The mail delivery process for the existing subscribers will not change, so
they will continue to receive emails from the lists as usual, with a
potential one-time delay of up to four hours during the actual transition.
The interaction with the server is also going to remain the same.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Kind regards,
Timour Bakeev
Senior System Engineer
RIPE NCC
