Before doing anything here please talk (or have someone from RENATER
talk) to Nicole from GEANT about the "Greenhouse" activity (full name
and address given on the website below):
https://www.geant.org/People/Community_Programme/Special_Interest_Groups/Pages/SIG-Greenhouse.aspx
 
See also https://wiki.geant.org/display/GREEN/SIG+Greenhouse
(though much there seems to be out of date)

Sympa is already recognised as a project that's important to the
communities it originated in (Research and Education Networks)
https://wiki.geant.org/display/GREEN/Open+Source+Software+in+NRENs
and many other projects have the same background/DNA and hence the
same issues and discussions.

I note that the question *why* Sympa needed its own servers wasn't
really answered so far (or why the Github wiki isn't sufficient).
(Now I can certainly imagine reasons why one would not want to depend
on Internet Monopolists' services but I don't assume these are
universally shared.)

Best regards,
