The public and private mailing lists for FOSS4G 2013 both need archiving.
There has been no traffic other than spam on either of them for several
months.
Thanks!

I notice Mailman has this option ("Advertise this list when people ask
what lists are on this machine?") but that would mean that all of the
archives would be hidden. I'm not sure we have been ever asked this
before. Anyone have ideas?

Comment:
What about:
* Set up the moderation bit (no more mails)
* Moderate the subscription (maybe also do a mass removal of subscribers)
* Change the description to state the list is disabled
[https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-
users/2010-September/070283.html Here] more details here about disabling
the mail addresses, out of my mailman skills 
Maybe there is a shorter or cleaner way to disable the list without
removing it from the list nor removing the archives.

Comment:
I think I have done as jsanz suggested for both lists. The moderator may
still get a few subscribe requests which can be ignored, but hopefully
things will otherwise be quiet, but still have readable archives.
