I'm a little confused.  Are you suggesting that we should also publish
a monthly status email to the list?  Or are you confusing the
zytor.com mailman account reminder email for a monthly status email?
The zytor.com mailman services has at least 8 public lists, several of
which don't relate much to Syslinux.

I've tried to enhance the wiki by putting some of this into the
account creation pages asking that humans contact us for write
permission, with a link to the contact us Wiki page
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Contact and I think we've had
some still mixed results.

UEFI mostly works.  Most of the issues from my perspective seem to be
machine-specific negative interactions.

Not much has changed here except the git repo.  The information is
still on the same Wiki pages.

This could get long fast.  Reminders to common FAQ-related Wiki pages perhaps.

This idea of a monthly status would be in addition to the messages
specific to a topic, ie moving the repo to repo.or.cz.
