[ghc-steering-committee] ghc-steering-committee mailing list deliverability issues

[Adam Gundry]

Hi everyone,

Thanks to those who followed up regarding this. There does appear to be 
an ongoing issue affecting many list members, although apparently not 
quite all of them (so far about 6 people have reported being affected, 
while Arnaud has reported he is mostly unaffected).

I believe the haskell.org servers are accepting emails bound for the 
list and storing them in the archives, but presumably are failing to 
deliver them to some recipients' mailservers due to some kind of 
misconfiguration. The issue appears to affect both regular list emails 
and other emails sent by the list management software (e.g. password 
reminders). An easy way to test if you are affected is to request a 
password reminder by entering your address at the bottom of this page: 
https://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-steering-committee

I've been in touch with the haskell.org infrastructure admins about 
this, and they have now given my colleague Ben access to the box, so he 
can now investigate more closely. Thus I'm hopeful we will see progress 
soon. In the meantime, please do keep an eye on the archives 
(https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-steering-committee/) and comment 
on proposals under review on GitHub 
(https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22Pending+committee+review%22).

You may also wish to look back at the Explicit Level Imports proposal 
(https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/682) which was 
accepted while the issue was ongoing.

Cheers,

Adam
