Hi,

Now that the evergreen-acq and evergreen-circ mailing lists exist, I
think we may be in a good place to revisit Kathy's proposal to define
a process for requesting new mailing lists:

http://libmail.georgialibraries.org/pipermail/open-ils-general/2017-April/013854.html

My own feeling is that the OLPC process [1] would be a good basis with
the addition of a policy for closing dead lists. For example, we could
establish a guideline that once a year every list will get checked and
those that have been around at least a full year but have had fewer
than 10 messages during the past 12 months are subject to being closed
up.
