Dear all,
This list has become a ghost town. I just looked at the archive for the year running and last year:
### Statistics
2021: 3 messages total
Two questions regarding issues with badges, one in January and one in July. The question from January was answered in June. Mail from July never received a response.
2022: 7 messages total
Three strange looking messages in March. Ankit's introduction in July which no-one responded to. My message regarding getting Badges back in shape (total of three messages).
### Conclusion
I think it's fair to conclude that this mailing list is no longer being used. I cannot see how many people are currently subscribed nor who, so I will again sent this mail cc to sysadmin-badges-members.
Unless there's some overwhelming and convincing response this mailing list will be *archived per 22 November 2022*.
### What now (Future)
Discussion regarding badges is still taking place. There's a tag [1] now on Fedora Discussion, to which you can subscribe and that will keep you on top of all things Badges. It's also possible to join the discussion from the comfort of your Inbox. Simply reply to any of the messages you receive and Discourse will add this as a response for the more GUI minded people.
In that respect Discourse is able to bridge the gap between more traditional mailing list and more modern web interface fora. More and more traditional mailing lists are being moved to Discourse. Most notably python-dev has moved to Discord [2].
Hopefully, with more and more people (especially people new to Fedora) joining Fedora Discussions, we will be able to save the badger from extinction.

Best regards,
It seems like it's the most reasonable option to do so. +1 from me
