A question recently came up on the functionaries-en mailing list about who to contact about managing the archives of old lists. Nobody knew the answer. Pages like https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/ and https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists should have a "who to contact at WMF about management of this stuff" link. All they have now is links to the generic Postorious or Hyper Kitty web sites.

Nobody knew the answer.
I find this hard to believe given we've worked with multiple functionaries on different list issues. In any case, you found the right venue, the Wikimedia-Mailing-lists project. Or the listadmins mailing list.
But your suggestion is a good one, see T340375 for the other footer customization request.

who to contact about managing the archives of old lists
I would say the answer is that you should contact the list admins of the list in question. If the list is still active they can configure all archive settings including whether it's private or public and all that. If the list is closed they should decide what to do with archives before they resign.
This shouldn't have to be centralized.
Or I am missing something. What does "managing archives of old lists" really mean? If it's active, it has admins, if it's not active and it's public, why would we have to change things about the archive?

The idea is to send an email to -owner@ mail and give it a grace period, if they all are inactive, then ask "central admins" to do something about it. I did the exact same thing with the gendergap mailing list.
