- vger.kernel.org delivers about 4.5 million messages per day
- 70% of that is linux-kernel@vger, with about 3.2 million messages delivered per day
- a very remote second is netdev@vger (300,000 messages delivered per day)
- even a more remote third is kvm@vger (133,000 messages delivered per day)
Current migration stats:
Out of the total of 203 public vger lists:
- 48 lists will be sunset (due to obsolescence/inactivity)
- 40 lists are already migrated to new infra
- 115 still reside on legacy infra
The 40 migrated lists are about 788,000 messages daily, or ~20% of all traffic, so 80% of all mail traffic is still going through the legacy infra.
I hope to complete all migrations by this holiday season.

sometimes I wonder if we still need LKML now that we have lore.kernel.org/all/
* LKML is CCed on a lot of stuff, but a lot of stuff it's not, so it's not a "everything" list/archive
* because so much is CCed on LKML it's impossible to read for nearly everyone, which makes it hard to see/follow stuff that has no list/no better place to post.
Or am I missing something here?

@kernellogger @monsieuricon A lot of things don’t have a more specific list to use so need just somewhere to post - it’s not filling a hugely different role to patches@lists but it is there.

kernellogger@fosstodon.orgyeah, that's why I wrote "hard to see/follow stuff that has no list/no better place to post"
So maybe the real best solution to the situation it to stop CCing LKML on stuff where a suitable list exists
