This issue is to track the migration progress.

FSF India mailing lists run on mailman2 which need to migrate to mailman3 instance of FSCI.

1. Find out the needed/working mailing lists. Create a sub To-Do of all those lists

2. Update MX records of lists domains

3. Upload those mailing lists' mbox and pickle file to ours [**Careful, don't overwrite]

4. Create $mailinglists in lists.fsci.org.in

5. mailman import21 foo-list@example.com /path/to/mailman2/foo-list/config.pck

   Confirm subscribers are imported by looking at https://lists.fsci.org.in/postorius/lists/replace_LISTNAME/members/member/

6. python3 manage.py hyperkitty_import --pythonpath /usr/share/mailman3-web --settings settings -l foo-list@example.com foo-list.mbox

7. python3 manage.py update_index --pythonpath /usr/share/mailman3-web --settings settings

If archives imported successfully, you can find at https://lists.fsci.org.in/hyperkitty/list/replace_LISTNAME/latest

(***Help needed: Some of above things can be automated with scripts)
