Creation of a new mailing list to send notifications
Background
Based on the discussion that took place on the mailing list about the proposal @toscalix sent to send the commits a mailing list, answering the request pointed at GUADEC, the process to open a new mailing list needs to be followed.
Task description
The process to open a mailing list is the following one:
-
Request the opening of a new list to the GNOME sysadmins following the mailing list request process - Request the name buildstream-notifications
-
Add @tristanvb and @tlater as owners.
-
Once created, follow the process established in #20 (closed)
If the request takes too long, notify @tristanvb
Mailing list key configurations
Configured the mailing list with the following key configs:
- Prefix [Notes]. {Notifications] is too long, given that gitlab add [Git][group/project] to the subject already.
- Length in Kb: 4096
- Digest Length: 40960
- Archive: weekly since it is expected, based on my tests, heavy traffic.
- Welcome and unsubscribe message.
- Welcome message includes a reference to the read-only by default character of the list.
- Reduce reply to notification mailing lists options:
- Explicitly Reply-to header: buildstream-list@gnome.org
- Reply_goes_to_list option is set to Explicit address
- Note: when mailers senders are poorly implemented, this features does not work well. Apparently this is the case for us.
Acceptance Criteria
- Link to the mailing list: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/buildstream-notifications-list
