I misread the above and thought it referred to the live chat system called 
Discord. I wondered how that could possibly replace an email system.

I found a message from GNOME about the change and found it is due to mailman 
still needing Python 2. I'm a little surprised that no one has volunteered 
to update it to work with Python 3.

The replacement to the mailing list is a forum based site. I don't like 
forums. I find it hard to follow the thread of a discussion. The use of a 
forum also means I have to go to the site, login, then search for messages 
that might be of interest to me. I don't see myself using the forum site.

Once the mailing list goes away I will feel rather detached from the GIMP 
community and thus it will feel like the end of an almost 30 year 
involvement with the project. For now I will stay connected to the gimp IRC 
channel.
