[Savannah-hackers] Mailing lists support at Savannah

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hi,

We are planning to add the basic Mailman support in Savannah. There is
a recent script in Savane called "sv_mailman" that does the job
locally.

To make it work in a remote machine (lists.gnu.org), we would
basically:

- install sv_mailman (and the backend libraries) at lists.gnu.org
  under user mailman; this requires installing some libraries, such as
  Perl DBI

- create a new MySQL user at Savannah to read/write on table
  'mail_group_list',

- configure the savane 'backend' at lists.gnu.org to connect to
  savannah instead of localhost for database access, so it can read
  and update the mailing list informations as if they were local. We
  will use SSL connections (certificate at both ends) using stunnel.

Do you have any comment?
