It doesn't look like I can access it, I probably need to go through
lockbox, which I haven't needed to do before, so I probably don't have
the rights, and I don't know the procedure. Could you point me to a
SOP describing what lockbox is used for, what I can do with it, etc?
I didn't find it in the SOPs wiki page.
Also, how can I get to the private ansible repo and the host
inventory? I'll make the configuration for this server in ansible.
Catch me on IRC and we can sort out what you need. ;)

I need to rebuild the HK rpms and change the MM3 RPM to make it not
replace the current mailman RPM we have.
ok.

Yes please! If you don't want to do the copying please just point me
to their current location.
Once you have access to the new instance, you should also have access
to the existing mailman instance, so I can tell you where the files
are there. Or I can copy them somewhere for you, etc.

There is a way to redirect the old URL scheme to the new one but it's
far from perfect (it uses the email import order which can be very
flawed with duplicate emails). I'd rather keep the old ones.
ok. It's a pretty big pile of stuff, but aside from disk I bet it won't
take much resources.

I admit it's still rather unclear to me. I am storing a full copy of
each message in the DB, but I'm not sure it's even mandatory (it's
used very rarely) and if it's a problem I could add a config switch
to prefer a filesystem-based storage (maildir).
Yeah, we may well have to just wait and see how it looks after we do
some imports. If the stg db has problems thats a good indicator. :)

I don't see what problems caching could pose.
Happy to see this moving forward! Cheers!
Me too. ;) Lets keep it moving along.
