Adding a footer to emails

[Michelle Phung <mi...@apache.org>]

hey

i pinged infra and while they were against the html email idea for un-subscription (since most of our mailing lists would not like html emails), there was a suggestion that some of the other apache mailing lists are adding footers to their emails, with unsubscribe links. I heard it’d be easy to implement, but I said I would ask us if we would want that. I also didn’t know that there was that option before.

I actually like leaving everything as-is, but if there is enough interest i can follow up.

Hi Joel,

Apache mailing lists run on ezmlm:

https://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html

Web access is managed through Apache Pony Mail:

https://lists.apache.org/
https://ponymail.incubator.apache.org/

All are professionally managed by Apache Infrastructure - CouchDB
committers do not have direct access to the ezmlm configuration, and
all changes must go through Infra. Infra has a pretty good handle
on ezmlm. The problem is not whether it's technically possible, but
mostly an issue of policy and procedure.

Best regards,
Joan

Hi Michelle!

Well, I do have interest in contributing, but I would like to
know/understand what does Apache Foundation use to manage its mailing
lists. Which language, framework, etc. - and if it's available somewhere
(GitHub, etc.) so I could read it's source code. Does not seem to be so
complex.
