@smallcircles The question is, participate where? Is the mailing list still getting shut down soon? Should I reply to the linked SocialHub thread with my WebFinger concerns?

@julian I think the best way is to subscribe to the the mailing list and reply to state your interest to participate and in what way.
I am not sure about how-to-subscribe for this particular list, and I'm not subscribed myself. I created the socialhub topic to draw attention to fedi dev community there.
See that there's a 'reply' icon on the thread, which pops up an email form. Dunno if that works. #IETF Search finds zilch searching for #WebFinger weirdly enough.
You could reply on SocialHub.

@smallcircles I saw the reply button, but that just opens a regular mailto window that would result in a top-level thread reply, instead of the reply to a specific message that I would want.
Maybe it's kind of a generational divide, but joining a mailing list just to quickly chime in on an ongoing conversation seems like a lot... but I'll consider it.

@julian I followed-up on SocialHub, asking a question to Melvin.
