Ok that explains why I kept seeing configuration reverted.

Would it be possible for the rsync to ONLY deal with data and
leave configurations untouched ?
I read it should theoretically be enough to copy the data/
archives/ and list/ subdirs (the current rsync is copying all
of /var/lib/mailman instead).

After all we should be almost ready to migrate lists.osgeo.org so
to point to the new container, the only pending things should be:

  - the SPF record

  - ensure the network forward is in place via ansible ?
    [ this can be postponed ]

Is there anything else we need to do before the switch ?
