Comment # 10 on bug 757543 from Patrick Uiterwijk

Please note that in the GNOME infrastructure, we are not using any Docker
containers, and getting ready for that would require a big overhaul regarding
things like handling updates etc.
I am also not comfortable with having a community member running infrastructure
under *.gnome.org domain, since we would have no way of catching up in case
stuff goes down or something else happens.

We are currently managing the entire infrastructure through Puppet, so you'd
have to set it up from there (repo is available at
https://infrastructure.gnome.org/browse/puppet/).


Also, I think that it will be very difficult to convince the current
contributors to move away from the process they have been using for many years
(mailing lists) to something like Discourse.

I am personally more in favor for an upgrade to Mailman 3 (which we can do once
they port all features from Mailman 2), which would also allow us to run
hyperkitty, which allows a web-based forum-like view for those that prefer that
(example at
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure%40lists.fedoraproject.org/),
and the mailing list interface for the people that prefer that.
