community: remove mention of git-users list #1829

Closed LemmingAvalanche closed 7 months ago

LemmingAvalanche commented 7 months ago

The git-users mailing list has become [spam-infested] lately. This to the point where Google Groups won’t let you view the forum.

I raised this issue in the following places:

• https://discord.gg/GRFVkzgxRd • https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/issues/1828 • https://lore.kernel.org/git/20240204084344.jzu2ciulbrdmxz4u@carbon/T/#m16eeb0bd8cd2c30c05836ea134817911ee794ec1

Subscribed members may try to contact the owner of the Google Group. Konstantin Khomoutov, A regular on that list for many years, [pointed out] that he has never seen the owner post on the list; he seems to be “AWOL”.

The only recourse here seems to be to contact Google, which Konstantin [did].

In the meantime—if anything comes of the support ticket—the mailing list is useless and there is no point in advertising it.
