Is there a mailing list for discussions of currently-proposed RFCs? I couldn't find it on ietf's website. e: I may have found it: https://www.rfc-editor.org/ma

  Oh, God. "You may enter a privacy password below. This provides only mild security, but should prevent others from messing with your subscription. Do not use a valuable password as it will occasionally be emailed back to you in cleartext." "If you choose not to enter a password, one will be automatically generated for you, and it will be sent to you once you've confirmed your subscription. You can always request a mail-back of your password when you edit your personal options. Once a month, your password will be emailed to you as a reminder."

    A nice relic of times when we trusted each other more and didn't feel the need to crypto-secure everything, including your cat's social media profiles :).

      ... except it's an active mail list, with current discussion. Interestingly the submitted article ends with this para: Security Considerations Security and privacy protection is a serious matter and too often nothing is done about it. There are some known security bugs (especially in access control) in BSD Unix and in some implementations of network services. The hitchhikers guide does not discuss these issues (too bad).

        I meant the GNU Mailman being a huge relic :).
