Retirement of the LaTeX-L mailing list

Public discussion about LaTeX developments for many years took place on the LaTeX-L mailing list, hosted by the University of Heidelberg. However, over time, active input moved elsewhere, most obviously to TeX StackExchange Chat for more informal back-and-forward, and to GitHub Discussions for more formal and archived threads.

We’ve been removing mentions of LaTeX-L from our documentation and from the website, as the traffic levels had fallen to the point that the list was no longer sensible to highlight. The time has now come for the list to be retired, which won’t impact ongoing work but some long-standing users might want to note.

All the best — Joseph
