Rename mailinglists eliso, and eliso-anoncoj
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The mailingilsts eliso, and eliso-anoncoj serves for the Wikimedia User Group Esperanto and Free Knowledge, where I am a Chair now. With the encouragement of transition to Mailman3, I have proposed to change the name of the mailinglists to be aligned with naming standards. After 1 week there is no opposition.

Please, rename:

  • "eliso" to "wikimedia-eo"
  • "eliso-anoncoj" to "wikimedia-eo-anoncoj"

Unfortunately, renaming a mailing list is not that easy in mailman3:

It seems it's possible but tbh, it's hacky. We can try it once it's upgraded.

One thing is that I don't know how we can do this during the upgrade. The script simply takes the name and just upgrades. Maybe @Legoktm have some better ideas.

We should do the rename in Mailman2 (we have the rename_list script and just need to update hiera variable) and then import the newly renamed list into Mailman3.

That sounds good to me. We can definitely try it.
