The linux.dev mailing-list service launches

There is a new mailing-list server running under the auspices of kernel.org that is meant, over time, to address the problems that have been plaguing vger.kernel.org in recent times.

The infrastructure behind lists.linux.dev supports multiple domains, so all mailing lists hosted on vger.kernel.org will be carefully migrated to the same platform while preserving current addresses, subscribers, and list ids. The only thing that will noticeably change is the procedure to subscribe and unsubscribe from individual lists.

Among other things, the new server prioritizes delivery to the lore.kernel.org archive, which should minimize the problems seen recently with lost messages.
