Our discourse instance is hosted for us by discourse. We shouldn't have to do maint on it, but we will have to do moderation, etc.
So... if maintaining discourse is too much overhead but it's okay to pay someone else to handle, why can't that be done for our mailing list infrastructure too? Even if that service offering is proprietary? (hosted enterprise gitlab, anyone?)
We could, but as I have mentioned a number of times... it's not about _our mailing lists_ it's about mailing lists in general.
Also, as Matthew mentioned somewhere in this megathread, it's actually a difficult process to add a new vendor at Red Hat.
And, for that matter, what of the other services currently owned/hosted/maintained under the RH/Fedora roof? (For example, we're going to be having this conversation again in the not-so-distant future once RH finishes switching over to Jira and stops funding our Bugzilla instance's upkeep..)
Yep, someday I think we will. There is currently no plan I know about to retire bugzilla, but there could well be someday.
