Norm Tovey-Walsh<p>I want to spin up replacement mailing lists for <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/DocBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DocBook</span></a> users now that they won't be hosted by OASIS anymore. (Nevermind that IT chaos at OASIS means none of the lists are working very well.) Is there an ethical open source collective sort of place that will let me pay them to do this? The lists are free for users, of course, and I don't generate any revenue from them, so it would have to be a not too expensive place.</p>
