The discussion emphasizes the importance of the Bitcoin mailing lists acquiring their domain to ensure longevity and independence from any open-source foundations, which may not always be reliable in supporting Bitcoin indefinitely.
This suggestion stems from the understanding that relying solely on external organizations for hosting and maintaining critical communication channels can pose risks to the continuity and accessibility of these resources.
Further insights from a previous communication indicate that the Linux Foundation has shown willingness or agreement towards offering support for the Bitcoin development community. Specifically, it mentions the possibility of the Linux Foundation maintaining archives for the Bitcoin mailing lists. While the details suggest that lists.linuxfoundation.org's mailman service might be discontinued, the Linux Foundation appears committed to keeping the read-only pipermail archives accessible online. This gesture by the Linux Foundation could potentially facilitate a smoother transition should the Bitcoin mailing lists decide to move to a new domain, highlighting an opportunity for collaboration between the two entities.
