Hi, just an update on this.
https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/c/mailing-lists
We are starting with these mailing lists:
* Education (crreated last Friday)
* African Wikimedians (created today)
* Wikispore (coming next)
* WikimediaPT (and next)
This is a real example of an email sent to a mirrored mailing list from an
email address (a user) registered in Space:
https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/t/re-wikimedia-education-exciting-update-…
Such mirrored posts count as contributions from the Space user, and any
likes etc are reflected in their user stats.
Here you can see what happens when the email address (the user) is not
registered in Space:
https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/t/wikimedia-education-invitation-for-crit…
In such cases, Discourse creates a "staged account", like a placeholder. If
a user registers with such email address, the posts authored by the staged
account will be assigned automatically to the new user, together with its
related stats.

Hi, I have just published a proposal to start testing
mailing list
mirroring and emulation at the Discourse instance we have at Wikimedia
Space.
If you are interested in discussing and exploring potential post-Mailman
scenarios, join in.
Check the proposal at
https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/t/testing-the-path-from-mailing-lists-to-….
Feedback is welcome there or here. :)
If you want to propose a mailing list to mirror or you are personally
interested in testing mailing list emulation, let's talk.
