Seconding what others have said: thank you Amir and Kunal (and everyone else involved) for all this work, it's hugely important.
Are we certain that the redirection of archive links is working correctly? I just happened to notice that the two mailing list references at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deceased_Wikipedians/2021#SlimVirgin (to WikiEn-l posts from 2003 and 2004) appear to be broken.

Hello, Two updates:
- We have been upgrading mailing lists to mailman3, now more than 1/4th
of mailing lists have been migrated, more follow today and next week. Some actions needed (see below)
- We created a new mailing list called listadmins-announce and we are
turning listadmins to a discussion mailing list. So If you don't wish to be involved in mailing list administration discussions, you can unsubscribe from listadmins [1] [2]. But being a member of listadmins-announce is not optional (you can unsubscribe, but you'll be automatically added back in the next update).
More on upgrade to mm3: Upgrading +700 mailing lists and more than 17 years of digital archive
is... challenging and Mailman3, while being much better than mailman2, is not perfect.
One known issue is that the upgrade script sometimes truncates the info
field. We have made changes and reported it to upstream to mitigate it but some mailing lists might not be easily fixable (python version incompatibilities, etc.). So If your mailing list has been upgraded, please check and fix that if it happens. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Private mailing lists won't be upgraded for now (possibly later next week
or the week after).
I recommend creating a central account [3] so you can have better control
over mailing lists you are a member of or you are an admin.
Please report any issues to us. Happy emailing
