Confirm mailing list openness and retention

[baentsch]

LinuxFoundation is not willing to grant openness and perpetual availability to its mailing lists in general but may be willing to grant this to mailing lists pertaining to the OQS TSC.

So this issue is to suggest the TSC requests the LinuxFoundation powers that be to grant open access and perpetual availability to mailing lists pertaining to OQS TSC and to document this equally openly at registration time/by registration email reply.

The goal of the latter is to make possible future withdrawals by LF from such promise at least visible.

LinuxFoundation legal department weighed in here. So @hartm fyi, I'll create a PR in www to move this confirmation to a more prominently visible place talking about OQS mailing lists and thus close out this issue.

I now also no longer have permission to push to a branch on the www repository to close this issue. Why @dstebila @ryjones ?

Looking at the permissions config file, it seems like only a few named individuals have write permissions here, not any teams. That being said, I'm not one of the named individuals here, and yet I still seem to have write access. So I have no idea what's going on with this config.
