Hello!

Would you so kindly create an alias for engineering team leads, called eng-leads, it should have the following people subscribed to it: micah@torproject.org, hiro@torproject.org, morgan@torproject.org, ahf@torproject.org, meskio@torproject.org, duncan@torproject.org, intrigeri@torproject.org

thank you

hi

we don't have a policy on this yet (#40404), but i try to discourage people from using aliases for group addresses like this. they cause churn on our end ("please change the alias" is one of our thousand cuts) and cause all sorts of other problems inherent to forwards (#41524 (closed), among other things).

in particular, you should be aware that bounces from any one of those emails might reveal the list of subscribers to the alias (#40301 (closed)).

with that in mind, do you really want to create that address? or would a mailman mailing list be perhaps more appropriate?

added Email Needs Information labels

assigned to @anarcat

added Lists Next labels and removed Email Needs Information labels

added Doing label and removed Next label

assigned to @lelutin and unassigned @anarcat

@anarcat just to clarify, I guess I should create the new mailing list in mailman 2? and that would eventually follow the migration to mm3 later?

list created with @micah as owner, you should receive an email about the list creation.

I'll subscribe all of the other addresses to the list right after lunch break

mentioned in commit wiki-replica@8882b1c0

added the new list to the wiki.

I've also done some minimal configuration, mostly to set the list to private and refuse posts from non-members. if that was not the intent of that list, you can change the settings accordingly.

all members subscribed to the list.

@micah feel free to change the list's configuration according to your needs. you can also subscribe some other ppl as owners and moderators to deduplicate your responsibility in managing it.

tell me if you were able to gain access to the list's admin interface with the email that was supposedly sent to you by mailman when the list was created.

I was able!

@micah does this work for you?

@lelutin i think this ticket can just be closed, you did your part, if @micah needs anything, he can comment and (surely? gitlab is unknowable) reopen the ticket...

closed

thanks, i haven't been able to come back to this yet, but i'll be sure to reopen if something isn't right!

@micah i just realized this now, after seeing your welcome message to the list (because of #41855 (closed)) that this list might actually overlap with the already existing (and mostly unused) team-leads@lists.torproject.org list.

i'll let you decide what you wish to do with those two fantastic tools.
