Just out of interest,
- is it theoretically possible to move ownership of this server to (for
instance) the Seamonkey project?
- How much would it cost? (money)
- How much would it cost? (time)
- Would the (for instance) Seamonkey group be prepared to run it?

There is (AFAIK)
- a mailing list server, operated by Mozilla
- a set of hosted newsgroups, provided by GigaNews
- some stuff that links the two, presumably run in the Mozilla server.

I would guess that reproducing this exactly is not the sort of thing
that SM could manage, but one or more freelists.org mailing lists
together with gmane.io might do the job. Or nabble.com, instead of
freelists, as that seems to allow posting from a webpage as well. See,
eg, <http://python.6.x6.nabble.com/>.

No it is a mozilla server

We wouldn't want to do it. Stretched to the limit already.

No see previous answer.

Posting via the news server still works also.

This Newsgroup was there for the developers to communicate, both with
each other and with us. If the developers stop using it then it's dead
anyway.

True enough; I see I missed the release of 2.53.7.1 on the 15th.
