There are also some older mailing lists which are no longer active.

bug: This list was used to report bugs but is now obsolete because we are using the bug tracker. Recent archives may be found here.
graphics: This list was used to discuss the future development of GUI and graphics tools for Octave. The maintainers list is now used for discussions about this topic. Recent archives may be found here.
sources: This list was used for posting enhancements to Octave. Now, instead of posting code to this mailing list, you are encouraged to join and contribute your code to the Octave Forge project. However, code to fix bugs in Octave itself or new core functions for Octave should be posted to the bug or maintainers lists. Recent archives may be found here.
