[liberationtech] Does anyone want to take over the Liberationtech list?

[Yosem Companys]

Correct.

Mailman works great, so my personal preference is to stay with Greenhost.
The cost is not too high, but someone still needs to pay it, and as you all
know the management of this list and its corresponding X social-media
account is a labor of love by its volunteers, myself included. :)

I do think it would be nice to have someone other than myself to administer
the list, motivate discussion around the latest Liberation Technology
topics, and potentially help us come up with a new mission for the
community, so it can continue having a meaningful impact in the world.
