MusicBrainz Mailing Lists
The MusicBrainz mailing lists (sometimes called groups) are one of the most important communication forums of the project. All users of the MailingList are expected to follow the CodeOfConduct.
Multi-Purpose Mailing Lists
There are three multi-purpose mailing lists. You can post about almost any MusicBrainz related topic. The lists differ in the degree of involvement of their subscribers:
- General discussions about MusicBrainz for all users. These include questions about the exact interpretation of the StyleGuideline
s. When the term "MailingList" is used, this usually means the UsersMailingList is meant.

- Discussions about the development of MusicBrainz for experienced users, who have some experience with the structure, culture, and history of MusicBrainz.

- Restricted list for the MusicBrainz CommunityAdvisoryBoard.

Searching the archives
There is a combined archive where you can read the past discussions on most of the mailings lists (hosted by Nabble). It is also possible to search the archives there.
You can also search the archives by selecting "Search the MusicBrainz mailing lists" on the Site Search. This is the same as adding site:lists.musicbrainz.org to a query for a Google search.
Further Information
There is a MailingListTemplate to create new MailingList pages.
There is some old MailingListDiscussion available.
