i have a friend alain williams who runs lists.phcomp.co.uk
and is competent at it. was the UKUUG Chair err 25 years ago?
cc'd.
the other lowest-common-denominator method is of course nntp
newsgroups (eternal-september.org run an excellent spam-free
one) and i do not mean "newsgroups via groups.google.com",
i mean *actual* nntp newsgroups, you know, the ones that have
been running for 40 years and everyone has forgotten even
exist? :)
they were and always have been distributed and distributable
(and spam-free *if* run properly) and i am sure the owner of
eternal-september would be happy to host/distribute bitcoin-dev.
another idea is public-inbox which actually stores
an entire mail archive *in a git repository*
https://github.com/nojb/public-inbox
public-inbox implements the sharing of an email inbox
via git to complement or replace traditional mailing lists.
Readers may read via NNTP, IMAP, Atom feeds or HTML archives.
public-inbox can be "initialised" from a mailman archive
so you can have the entire past history of messages in
the git repo as well. it's really quite sophisticated.
if anyone doesn't like "email bcuz old", or wants to remain
anonymous, they can always get a protonmail account, use
mail-forwarders, and TOR. and if they are happy to use nntp they can
register
on eternal-september.org, which then allows them to send and
receive... and then use TOR-proxy.
all doable *without* having to install something that will
consume alarmingly high resources and cost a fortune in hosting
every month.
