[all] Two months with openstack-discuss (another progress report)
This is just a quick followup to see how things have progressed since we cut the old openstack, openstack-dev, openstack-operators and openstack-sigs mailing lists over to openstack-discuss two months ago, as compared to my previous report[*] from the one-month anniversary. We're still seeing a fair number of posts from non-subscribers landing in the moderation queue (around one or two a day, sometimes more, sometimes less) but most of them are newcomers and many subscribe immediately after receiving the moderation notice. We're now at 830 subscribers to openstack-discuss (up from 708 in the previous report). 75% of the addresses used to send 10 or more messages to the old lists in 2018 are now subscribed to the new one (it was 70% a month ago). While posting volume is up compared to December (unsurprising given the usual end-of-year holiday slump), we only had a total of 958 posts over the month of January; comparing to the 1196 from January 2018 that's a 20% drop which (considering that right at 10% of the messages on the old lists were duplicates from cross-posting), is still less of a drop than was typical on average across the old lists over the previous five Januaries. One change worth mentioning: we noticed a rash of bounce-disabled subscriptions triggered by messages occasionally containing invalid DKIM signatures (inconsistently for some posters, fairly consistently for a few others). We're unsure as of yet whether the messages are arriving with invalid signatures or whether Mailman is modifying them in unanticipated ways prior to forwarding, but have re-enabled all affected subscribers and temporarily turned off the automatic subscription disabling feature while investigation is underway. If you missed receiving some messages which are present in the list archive, that's quite possibly the cause. Apologies for the inconvenience!
