[all][infra][tact-sig] Mailman v3 migration for OpenStack mailing lists 2023-10-12
On Thursday, October 12 at 15:30 UTC, the OpenDev Collaboratory systems administrators will be migrating the lists.openstack.org mailing list site from the aging Mailman 2.1.29 server to a newer Mailman 3.3.8 deployment. This maintenance window is expected to last approximately four hours. The key takeaways are as follows:
* There will be an extended outage for the site while DNS is updated and configuration, subscriber lists and message archives are imported, but incoming messages should correctly queue at the sender's end and arrive at the conclusion of our work
* Because this is on a new server, there are new IP addresses from which list mail will be originating: 162.209.78.70 and 2001:4800:7813:516:be76:4eff:fe04:5423
* Moderation queues will not be copied to the new server, so moderators are encouraged to process any held messages prior to the migration time in order to avoid losing them
* Anyone wishing to adjust their list subscriptions, or handle moderation or list configuration after the migration, needs to use the Sign Up button on the Web page to create a new account; it will be linked to your imported roles as soon as you confirm by following a URL from an E-mail message the server sends you, and is global for all sites on the server so you only need to do this once
* The software providing Web front-ends for list management and archive browsing is entirely new in Mailman v3 and therefore has a much different appearance, though we've added appropriate redirects and frozen copies of old archives in order to accommodate existing hyperlinks
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to follow up on the service-discuss mailing list or find us in the #opendev channel on the OFTC IRC network.
Reminder for those who may have missed the initial announcement, as this is less than a week away now...
