I have barred that thread, although I don't generally favour censorship
as a solution to anything.

However... it seems that this list is mostly used these days for
offtopic crap, and for technical queries which get referred to the
forums.

Is there still a benefit to having this list at all? Would we be better
off shutting it down entirely?

Likewise the git repository on git.infradead.org — if development is
happening on github, there's no point in just mirroring it here, is
there? I was happy to provide services (and even try to learn a bit of
perl) when Phil Lewis bowed out, but it now seems that there's a fairly
capable community around it and it's not clear what benefit I continue
