Bug: Broken call to action on the Volunteer page #2983
The main Call To Action on the Volunteer page is broken and it's not clear to me what the correct link/target should be - this doesn't just feel like a broken link, but possibly an entirely outdated channel
You can help out by signing up the psf-volunteers mailing list, which puts you in a pool of people that receive requests from the PSF board when there is work to be done that we cannot handle ourselves.
There are no Mailman 2.1 lists on mail.python.org. All remining Mailman 2.1 lists were either archived or migrated to Mailman 3 in May of 2025. Go to https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/ for information on Mailman 3 lists.
https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/ appears to be the correct Mailman, but I see no psf-volunteers in the list and I haven't yet found any evidence that the list still exists - so I'm not even sure where potential volunteers should be going!
As a potential volunteer, I expect to be able to clearly offer my assistance / sign up somewhere / register interest / etc. - whether by joining a mailing list, filling in a form, joining a Discord, whatever
🤦🏻 didn't think to check archive.org - good call, thanks - shame the actual thread pages aren't archived!
I've already spoken to Marie about it via the Discord office hours but I imagine re-raising the message won't hurt - dropping the section in the short term definitely makes sense

Thanks for the report!
Hmm, at least the list used to exist before May 2025:
https://web.archive.org/web/20250213223350/https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/psf-volunteers
I expect it's been archived, as the last emails were in 2020:
https://web.archive.org/web/20241015222604/https://mail.python.org/pipermail/psf-volunteers/
Anyway, this page definitely needs a revamp. And I'll let PSF staff know, and in the short-term, I've deleted this highlighted section of the page:
