a. I'm not particular on Launchpad, but I really dislike SF mailing lists.
To change which mailing list goes to what address (or if you get mail for it at all) you can go to this Launchpad page: https://launchpad.net/~/+editemails
For me the biggest advantage of Launchpad's customizations is that I can mail a mailing list with any address that LP knows about, so if I screw up, my mail doesn't get bounced.
Thanks Ted! I have the maillist-bouncing problem too.

A majority vote of the current board members is required for this matter.
Proposal:
Move the email list for the Inkscape Board of Directors from SourceForge to Launchpad.
[ ] a. Yes, move inkscape-board@ to Launchpad [ ] b. No, keep list on SourceForge
Regardless of this vote, all other mailing lists will remain unchanged.
Background:
All Inkscape mailing lists are currently hosted from SourceForge, for historical reasons. When Inkscape was founded we used SourceForge for all source control, bug tracking, mailing lists, etc.
Since that time we've moved off SourceForge to Launchpad for the first two items, but not the last.
The mailing list archives are important for board matters both to locate past decisions, and for facilitating general transparency into our work. Both SourceForge and Launchpad have their own web interface for viewing list archives, but SourceForge's implementation is clunky and limited compared with Launchpad's.
Launchpad also provides a more integrated way of managing your mailing list subscriptions compared with SourceForge.
Mailing lists hosted at SourceForge have a textual advertisement appended to them, whereas Launchpad does not. This is minor, but it does result in our archived emails looking more tidy and professional.
Another benefit of moving is that the board would be able to handle all list administration. Currently, the SourceForge admin team does list administration. Presently this is a trivially small benefit, since we tend not to require any administration work, and since several board members are also SourceForge team administrators.
A limitation of Launchpad is that it permits only a single mailing list per team. However, for the board this is not a hinderance since we only have a single mailing list. If a second list is needed, we can always just establish a subteam.
