[REPOST][URGENT] kvmarm mailing list migration

[Marc Zyngier]

[Reposting this, as it has been almost two weeks since the initial
 announcement and we're still at sub-10% of the users having
 subscribed to the new list]
 
Hi all,

As you probably all know, the kvmarm mailing has been hosted on
Columbia's machines for as long as the project existed (over 13
years). After all this time, the university has decided to retire the
list infrastructure and asked us to find a new hosting.

A new mailing list has been created on lists.linux.dev[1], and I'm
kindly asking everyone interested in following the KVM/arm64
developments to start subscribing to it (and start posting your
patches there). I hope that people will move over to it quickly enough
that we can soon give Columbia the green light to turn their systems
off.

Note that the new list will only get archived automatically once we
fully switch over, but I'll make sure we fill any gap and not lose any
message. In the meantime, please Cc both lists.

I would like to thank Columbia University for their long lasting
support and willingness to help during this transition, as well as
Konstantin (and the kernel.org crew) for quickly stepping up to the
challenge and giving us a new home!

Thanks,

	M.

FWIW, I didn't subscribe until just now because there weren't clear
instructions on the linked page. For everyone else's benefit, to subscribe you
need to send a mail to:

  kvmarm+subscribe@lists.linux.dev

... with any subject and body. You'll then get a confirmation email that you
need to reply to.

Thanks,
Mark.

Just wanted to explicitly highlight this point... can folks please
continue to Cc the old list until we migrate to the new one?
lore.kernel.org archives *only* contain mail sent to the columbia.edu
address right now.

Fortunately, the series I'm aware of that didn't do this still hit
another archived list so I could find it with a bit more digging.

Marc -- any idea when we're going to finally switch to the new world?

Thanks,
Oliver

Given the amount of spam I'm dealing with on the Columbia list,
I'm tempted to say "real soon now".

I'll repeat my call for migration again next week, give it another
week, then ask Konstantin to switch the archives over to the new
list. This can take up to a week, but as soon as it is done,
I'll place the list under full moderation and ask Columbia to
kill it.

So it looks like we're looking at a ~2 week deadline. Should anyone
object to this plan, shout now!

Thanks,

         M.
