Can you provide some data on this?


During the MARID lifetime, the most data we received on the
distribution and behavior of mailing lists came from Lars of
gmaine.org.  In his long list of mirrored mailing lists, both mailman
and ezmlm were a significant fraction.  Of course, Lars generally
mirrors technical lists, which likely have a different distribution.

So, more data would certainly be very helpful.
