Need backups of mailman mailing lists (config and mbox)

Hi Faustin, can you provide the list of mailing lists for which you need a backup?

HI! (writing as an actual admin of the lists)

Here are the lists:
- maria-discuss
- maria-docs
- maria-developers

But we would need to synchronize since I need to communicate with the members before the move, maria-docs is a low traffic ML and is probably a good candidate for the first move.

I would appreciate if you have any recommendation for that migration (automated response message, how to disable the list etc.).

Regards,
Faustin (for MariaDB Foundation)

Hi Guruprasad!
Do you think you could help with my request or point me to the correct person at Canonical?

Faustin

I have requested our IT team to help with this. https://portal.admin.canonical.com/C156972/ is the ticket (this is only for our reference).

Hi @Gurupasad, do you have any feedback from the IT team?
Thanks!

Hi Faustin, I haven't gotten an update from them and I don't have an ETA that I can share with you for this. I will share an update here once there is some progress.

Ok, thanks!

Hi @Guruprasad, do you think that you could escalate this.
It's now almost one month that I am waiting for it to be able to migrate our mailing lists...

Hi Faustin, I apologize for the delay and I will escalate this. Since most of the engineering teams are at an engineering sprint, it is likely that there will be no progress on this in this week. I'll let you know once I have an update.

Hi Faustin, it is going to take our IT team more time to get to your request and I do not have an ETA at this point. I'm very sorry about the delays but there is not much we, the Launchpad team, can do about it. This definitely not the experience we want our users to have. I will post an update once there is some progress.

Hi @Guruprasad,
I understand that this does not depend on you but please let me know if this is ever going to happen.

If not, I'll have to communicate publicly about it and ask to every user to move to our new mailing list system.
I'd really like to avoid it but we can not wait longer for this to happen.

Thanks for your help.
Faustin

Hi Faustin,

Our IT team is currently working on this and I hope to share the export files with you in the coming days.

Hi Faustin,

I've assembled the requested files into the archive available at https://people.canonical.com/~cmisare/launchpad-questions-706084.tgz.gpg .

You should shortly be receiving an emaill to the primary email associated with your Launchpad account with details about how to decrypt the data.

Please let us know once you've successfully confirmed the data is as expected.

Thanks.

Hi Colin and Guruprasad!
Thanks for your help an providing these.

I have successfully imported configs/mailbox into the new mailman instance, everything looks good so far. I'll ping you in case I need something else.

Thanks!

Hi,

Please mark this question as solved, if there is nothing else for us to help you with.

Sure, just checking that everything works as expected.

Thanks Guruprasad, that solved my question.
