the Mail Archive is now (again) subscribed to this list...

... and so linux-efi finally has a public archive again (because GMANE
has been defunct for a while now):

Whoever administers this list, please consider updating the info box at:

As a side note, regarding

  http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
  "As of now, subscription support is not handled at the web!",

I would love to welcome Majordomo @ VGER.KERNEL.ORG to the 21st century,
if it only enabled web-based subscription (like practically all
pipermail / mailman2 instances do, while at the same time they do remain
sane, and resist the "web 2.0" idiocy).

I had to employ some "From:" hackery to subscribe the Mail Archive to
linux-efi <https://www.mail-archive.com/faq.html#newlist>, which,
combined with the extreme slowness of VGER.KERNEL.ORG, was decidedly
un-fun. (I'm lucky that the RH SMTP server didn't reject my "forged"
>From headers.)

Also, the info box at <http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-efi>
is almost entirely useless, it doesn't even tell me who runs linux-efi,
so that I could have contacted them in person, for adding the Mail
Archive directly to the subscriber list (a practice recommended by the
Mail Archive themselves, see the link above).

Examples:

https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel

"Qemu-devel list run by listhelper-moderate at nongnu.org"

https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel

"edk2-devel list run by michael.d.kinney at intel.com, laurie.jarlstrom
at intel.com, jordan.l.justen at intel.com, webmaster at 01.org"

https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/vfio-users

"vfio-users list run by alwillia at redhat.com"

etc etc etc

Thanks for doing this.

It says postmaster-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org at the bottom of the page, so
adding that to cc.  If this doesn't work out, Konstantin Ryabitsev
<konstantin-hQyY1W1yCW8ekmWlsbkhG0B+6BGkLq7r@public.gmane.org> may be able to forward it to the
person responsible.

Best regards,

Lukas

linux-efi archive

Hi Konstantin,

The URL above still lists GMANE as archive for linux-efi, which no longer
works.  Could you replace this with the URL at mail-archive.com which was
kindly created by Laszlo Ersek?  In addition, there's another archive at:

    http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-efi/

I've cc'ed Laszlo's e-mail to postmaster-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org over a month ago
to no avail.

Thank you!

Lukas

Kernel.org admins have no access to vger.kernel.org, so emailing 
postmaster-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org remains your only course of action.
