[Scummvm-devel] Private / internal mailing list

Hi Max,

Is the scummvm-private mailing list still active or did you turn it
off/disable it? If not (and provided you check with a few other people to
make sure the behavior I am seeing is consistent), you might be able to use
it for your purposes.

Here is what I'm seeing as a registered Sourceforge user, but not team
member:
 - the scummvm-private list does not appear in the list of available mailing
lists
 - the scummvm-private listinfo page is accessible by url (
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scummvm-private ), but does not
give away any info
 - trying to access the archives by url
(https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=scummvm-private )
will first check that you are logged into SF.net and then output this error:
        "Permission Denied
        "Access to this page is restricted (either to project members or to
project administrators) and you do not meet the requirements to access this
page. Please contact the administrator of this project for further
assistance."

This might mean that any project member (past or present) can access the
archives though, which is something you might want to have better control
over.

Hope this helps a bit,
Julien
