Once I have (re-)found Postorius, that is easy; Postorius is good.  It is remembering that Postorius is the technology that I want, as opposed to activity on the mailing lists per se, that challenges me.  Day in, day out, I use e-mail and the Datatracker and those are firmly embedded in my awareness.  It is the remembering of the 'once in a blue moon' activities, like unsubscribing, that tax me.  Some reminder, such as a link on the Datatracker page,  would help me.  (Perhaps the maintainers do not want it to be too easy to unsubscribe:-) 

So if I understand correctly, this would be addressable in Datatracker? If so, those with access to the ietf-tools organization on GitHub should be able to make it happen. Granted, I am not one of those people. I’m just trying to understand it better, as if I were to be asked such a thing for a project on my own git.nixmagic.com instance, where I am root on the server. Where in the Datatracker interface do you think it would make most sense to place this link?

Met vriendelijke groet,
