Thread:Talk:Development process improvement/Communications recommendations/Mailing list renaming

I'm not terribly enthusiastic about renaming mailing lists, only because it's difficult to rename a list and to preserve URLs to the old mailing list content. Since we have so many old conversations that we often reference, we should probably have a pretty high bar for renaming an existing mailing list. For example, I don't believe changing "mediawiki-l" to "mediawiki-users" would clear that bar.
