Hey!

I would like to start self-hosting my git repos. To make sure anyone
can contribute without an account, I'd like to set up a email based
workflow with mailing lists. However, I'm trying to understand what
the best easy-to-self-host alternative is. Sourcehut would fit the
bill in terms of features but it's still in alpha and the self-hosting
documentation is very sparse. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Doesn't seem to support it (https://github.com/go-
gitea/gitea/issues/13442)

What options did you already research?

Well now I've googled around quite a bit. It seems that gitolite with
either gitweb or cgit and then installing mailman on a separate server
is the best way to go. I was just hoping there was something a bit
easier to set up (like single command like gitea).

Hello. In order to promote inclusivity and reduce gender bias, please

Instead of **mailman**, use **mail carrier**, **letter carrier** or
**postal worker**.

Thank you very much.
