The point is that email has evolved over the 18 years since I set up
the very first linux-nfs.org. I have not had time to keep up with the
requirements of adding support for DMARC, SPF, etc. which is why
Cedric's account setup email is probably in his spam folder, assuming
that the gmail server even accepted it at all.

Furthermore, both the wikimedia and bugzilla instances are far from
running the most recent code versions and I'm sure there are plenty of
well known security holes etc to exploit. So both code bases have been
needing an upgrade for a while now.

Finally, the VM itself is still running RHEL/CentOS 7, and I'd like to
see it migrated to a platform that is is still maintained.

All these tasks would need help from the person (or people?) who
volunteers to maintain the bugzilla + wiki services. Some of them would
need to be 100% owned by that person, and others (like the platform
upgrade) would need a lot of coordination with me.

IOW: I'm not advocating either way. I can understand wanting to migrate
away from the current setup to something that is maintained by someone
else. However if anyone does wants to take on the job of helping to
maintain the current setup, then they need to know that it will involve
real work.
