I've migrated the wayland-devel mailing list to Mailman 3 and public-inbox!

https://lore.freedesktop.org/wayland-devel/rLtg4wTkwd_VtkBlOeYloSDHnqXwln0iUl61bmFmawAcXQry3DiNAiDEMVi-KeMOWfiiPa6jZ2U8KogQpOHADfwsPnOmOfwiNNKX-rrHu-A=@emersion.fr/T/#u

I plan to wait a bit to check whether everything is fine, then gradually migrate other mailing lists. We also need to migrate our old email server to the new VM.

@emersion cool that you are using my mailman archiver!

Care to share your migration scripts (for importing the old mailman2 archives into public-inbox)? I'm about to perform a couple such migrations myself and was just about to write up an import script... :)

@toke Oh, thanks a lot for writing that plugin! :)

To import the mailman2 mbox into public-inbox, I've been using that script: https://github.com/nojb/public-inbox/blob/master/scripts/import_vger_from_mbox

I invoked it like this:

./import_vger_from_mbox git git@lore.freedesktop.org /var/lib/public-inbox/wayland-devel <wayland-devel.mbox

(Would be nice if there were a proper public-inbox command to do that!)

@emersion
You're welcome!

And doh, why didn't I think to look in the public-inbox sources for a script? Thanks for the pointer!

I agree that a 'public-inbox-import' command would be nicer, though...
