I don't remember why this list was split out, but are you sure those
multimedia discussions can't just happen on Commons-l, merging the
subscribers list of this ML to it? They've always had a lot of overlap.

Hello Wikivideo subscribers,
As some of you may have heard, we are forming a new Multimedia team at
the Wikimedia Foundation, to enable easier viewing , contribution,
curation, discovery and publishing of multimedia content to Wikimedia
projects. You can read more about this program and our first plans on
this project hub:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Multimedia
To support this program, we plan to set up a new Multimedia list in
coming days, to discuss key issues and new features related to images,
sound and video on our sites.
At the recommendation of WMF's platform engineering director Rob
Lanphier, we propose to shut down this Wikivideo list (which has
apparently been dormant for months), and move its subscriber list over
to the new Multimedia list, with your permission.
What do you think? Any questions or comments about this proposal to
transfer the subscriber list from Wikivideo to multimedia?
If we don't hear any objections by the end of the week (July 30), we
propose to subscribe you to that list by the end of this month.
If there are objections, we can remove those names at the time we make
the transfer. Alternatively, we could ask everyone to resubscribe to the
new list, but that seems like a lot of unnecessary work for the 90
subscribers to this Wikivideo list.
To be clear, this proposed change means that any posts about video
issues which we would have made to the old Wikivideo list will now be
made on this new multimedia list. So you would be missing out on useful
information about video if you do not subscribe to the new multimedia list.
Also note that the multimedia list will also include useful information
on a variety of related topics, from improvements to the upload wizard
to the creation of new media viewers and other tools.
Thanks in advance for your feedback. We look forward to some interesting
discussions between community members and WMF product teams on this
important initiative.
Best regards,
Fabrice Florin
