We'd be happy to use various platforms, but any change that requires
thousands of people to opt in is not worth the cost. Even if many
participants are read-only or inactive, it is valuable for the GROMACS team
when trying to attract funding to be able to point to a number of
mailing-list subscribers as one proxy for the number of people using
GROMACS. Switching to something other than mailman would only work if we
can port the subscriber list.

Those are run by third parties for whatever reason they have. I'm surprised
they are able to post at all.
