Ultimately it will be up to whomever takes over the list and whomever 
(if ever) acquires ownership of the list. But IMO, Mailman is one of 
the best platforms to use for a listserv. It controls spam and has 
good access to archives. It is part of the service that the domain 
host provides and it took a great deal of work to get it all set up 
and working smoothly back in 2016 when I worked with Brad to get 
everything moved away from GoDaddy. I personally wouldn't consider 
changing. But let's leave that discussion for another day (hopefully 
far, far in the future).

Thanks everyone for your warm thoughts. It has been a pleasure and 
honor working with this group. A nicer, more thoughtful, and more 
helpful group of people can't be found. I really would like to move 
this conversation off list now. I have made contact with Finite 
Matters and they will try to get Brad to call me back.  I will keep 
everyone posted. And for those kind souls who are willing to take 
over admin duties, I'll contact you all OFF LIST in a week or so and 
we'll figure out the best way forward.
