closedConsider moving mail lists to mailman 3 + posterious and hyperkitty
100%
Description
The current mailing list interface (mlmmj) is spartan and bare-bones. It's not particularly friendly to users on the web site side, and subscriptions and email management is rather annoying. It's also not mobile friendly.
Please consider migrating to Mailman 3 with Posterious and HyperKitty, as Fedora has done. There are several advantages to such a migration:
- Posterious + HyperKitty enable a fully website centric model of interacting with mailing lists (forum style).
- Authentication of users is handled via OAuth, so it can be tied to the openSUSE single sign-on system.
- The web frontends are fully responsive and all threads + messages have permanent links that can be shared reliably.
- Message and thread search works very well within each mail list.
- Multiple email addresses can be managed under a single ML account (corp, personal, etc.) making it much easier to keep track of all subscriptions
Thanks in advance.

FYI, for the last couple of months, I have been preparing a move to mailman2. Due to lack of resources, things have been going a bit slowly.
I opted for mailman2 instead of 3 as I am familiar with mailman2, but have no experience with mailman3.

quick note: SUSE is running mailman too:

Please don't use Fedora as a template. Its accessibility is zero without scripting enabled, and its gray text (as here on this page) is hard on the eyes. The current lists.opensuse.org
by thread by date by author compressed mbox
archive format for me does exactly what I need and expect of a mailing list archive, while Fedora's utterly fails.

pjessen, I'm curious what is the status on this, I would be delighted to get started on salt profile (or continue the work if you have started anything already).
mrmazda, we are not the upstream, and we do not have any influence over hyperkitty, the developers do. Please raise the concerns with the developers instead.

It's still under consideration, i.e. nothing has been done.

Then I will start working on the profile for it in our salt repo, and request a vm for testing, is that fine with you?

Yep, absolutely, no prob.

So I backported Mailman3 + HyperKitty + Postorius to Leap 15.1: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:Pharaoh_Atem:SUSE_Mailman3_Leap_15.1
I've discovered that Mailman 3 stack is broken in Leap 15.2, I'm not sure how we can get this fixed there, though... :(

Hah, apparently, in the time I was working on it this week, it seems to be fixed now in Leap 15.2. :)
