Hi,

this is the mentioned  list that already exists:
https://groups.io/g/evolution-users

It is limited to 100 subscribers.

Here we much likely could get a mailing list without a user limit:
https://support.riseup.net/en/ticket/3227QJ76OfCW7Ci7

Everybody can open the ticket at riseup.net. I could do, but I'm not a
moderator or admin of evolution-list gnome org . Do the moderators wish
that I ask to open a mailing list?
The list's archives seem to view HTML instead of plain text messages:
https://lists.riseup.net/www/


The MC mailing list migrated to OSU OSL. They got all the data from
gnome.org, so as a subscriber I had to do nothing, excepted of using
mc lists midnight-commander org instead of mc gnome org . I suspect OSU
OSL is: https://osuosl.org/

Regards,
Ralf
