The question is, does it need a successor?

For some time there have been periodic mentions of the idea of moving Wikimedia-l to Discourse. [0]
I am considering establishing a Discourse installation myself and offering it to host Wikimedia-l or its successor, which in addition to potential usability improvements from Discourse would have the added benefit that it would not be hosted on a WMF server and therefore would be somewhat insulated from governance controversies at WMF such as we have experienced in the past and such as the one recently experienced by WMFR. However, I am concerned that I would be unable to provide sufficient legal protections for the privacy of the list and its members, so I have not initiated this project.
I think that a good first order of business would be for someone to close the existing RfC on Meta. After that RfC is closed I think that we should have further discussions about how we might like to continue to adjust our communications on Wikimedia-l or its successor.
I am currently limiting myself to approximately 15 posts per month until the RfC is closed.
