Groups.io has no mechanism for uploading the archives of the mailing list, which go back to 2009 and which I think are valuable.
There was a discussion with the site owner/architect about converting mailman lists and archives back in 2015, but it petered out without any resolution.
So I don't think groups.io is suitable for the 44net list. It seems like a fine place for new mailing lists to be hosted, but not for old ones like this one.
You are right that we need a place to upload code and documents.
The wiki is suitable for small documents, more like for info pages, but for serious stuff we don't have anything at this moment. A long time ago we had ftp.ucsd.edu, but it's a legacy site that's likely to finally die some day soon, and I no longer have any way to add stuff to it. - Brian

I have no problem with mailman. If it had a way to search the archives that would be good. I also think we need some sort of place to upload code and documents. So groups.io would get my vote if we were going to do something external/not hosted ourselves. I don't see Facebook as a good place to really do anything productive.
