Dear person who is interested in Tor censorship events,

how sad would you be if we shut down the tor-censorship-events@
mailing list?

I'm asking, because I'm about to move the Metrics website to a new
host, and I'd want to leave behind any unused parts while doing so.
This list very much looks like the perfect candidate for not being moved.

Here's why:

 - All mails sent to this list in August covered July 30, and yet
nobody noticed.

 - A couple months back I changed how userstats are updated from daily
to every three days, but I didn't adapt the script sending out these
mails, which still only covers a single day, and yet nobody noticed.

 - The links contained in these emails have been broken since November
2014, and yet nobody noticed.

Note that I understand the desire to be informed about automatically
detected censorship of the Tor network.  But this script and mailing
list is not what we want, it just leaves us under the impression that
we have a somewhat working solution.  We don't.  And maybe that even
prevents people from building something better.

Here's my plan:

 - If I hear a convincing reason why we should keep this mailing list
in the next 72 hours (that would be Wednesday, August 12, 12:00 UTC),
I'll move it to the new host and will even try to fix the bugs above.

 - If I don't hear such a reason, I'll kill the list with fire.

Thoughts?  (Just respond to this list, and I'll manually approve your
posting, despite this list not being a discussion list.)

All the best,
Karsten
