Rusty and others:
Groups.io does essentially the same service as what we currently have through mailman software on xmission. the groups.io interface is nicer when visiting the groups www-site..
i don't know how much data (ie archives size) the email group has. over 1GB means minimum charge of $220/year for storage on groups.io.
migrating the members is a challenge. my experience is a group hostingand/or software change results in significant loss in group membership - like 85-90% for the i've taken part in a 'move'!!!
i also hate the idea of loosing the archives (though the recent data isn't currently being saved as I understand, only the really old stuff has been retained). i don't know if groups.io can transition anything in the mailman database. based on the yahoo.groups changes these last few months at minimum the charge will be $220.
the list isn't heavily used. the participation rate has really fallen off since about 2014/15. most of the activity is on the group site on Facebook (link - https://www.facebook.com/groups/330782353662726/ )

You should be using the groups io site instead of this!
