Probably better to use a tracker.d.o team - option 3 here:

https://wiki.debian.org/Salsa/AliothMigration#Import_mailing_list

That means interested people can join (and leave!) but I don't think
there's a public archive.

I'm happy to migrate to list.d.o if people think an actual list is
useful.  It should at least have better spam filtering there than the
current list.  Or to alioth-lists.d.n if that really seems the best
option.

We could point it to a tracker.d.o team.
