(philosophical side note: "consent" is not free of coercion, and thus
rather irrelevant, when Github is taking over 90% of Open Source projects.)

I understand your point, but I'd like to make a different choice.

No, I can't (unless I want to play cat and mouse with them, which is no
fun). And that is the whole of the problem, as I say in my other message.

As long as the mailing list stays, any concrete difficulty can be solved
when it arises through a constructive discussion, so nothing is lost!

I trust that Cython won't ever do like some other projects, which have
suppressed any kind of non-Github contact channel. That would be the
real pain.

Not fully, but I can live with it :-)
