Greetings,
I'm about to submit a ticket requesting a new mailing list on lists.fedoraproject.org. Before submitting, I'd like to ask a few questions. The new list is really an existing list that will be migrating to lists.fedoraproject.org. Because of this, the list has existing members, and archives.
What is the procedure for migrating the existing subscriber list? I gather that's something I'd setup after the list is created, but thought I'd ask here first.
Also, is it at all possible to migrate the existing list archives to the new lists.fedoraproject.org location? I suspect this would be fairly painful, but again, can't hurt to ask. :)
Thanks, James

Note, I have access to the existing full list archives (mbox), and am told this can be supplied to the mailmand archive script. I'm just not sure if I'll have access to perform this, or if someone from infrastructure has the power.
Thanks, James

Yeah, it will need to be someone in the sysadmin-tools group, but it should be quite doable.
We have info from when we migrated lists from redhat.com to fedoraproject.org:

Cool, looks like it should be possible. Hopefully this doesn't cause too much pain migrating. I filed a ticket [1] to track the list creation and migration.
Thanks, James
