+== Making the list private
+
+Internal SIG mailing lists are usually set as private. The reason for this is because
+these lists receive bugzilla bugs including private bugs, which shouldn't be visible to everyone.
+You need to do the following after the list is created (admin permissions needed):
+
+. Log in to link:https://lists.fedoraproject.org/[mailing lists interface]
+. Find the new mailing list and open it
+. Click on `Manage this list` in top bar
+. Click on `Settings`
+. Set `Show list on index page` to `No`
+. In `Archiving` menu set `Archive policy` to `Private archives`
+. In `Member Policy` menu set `Subscription Policy` to `Confirm, then moderate`
+. In link:https://id.fedoraproject.org/ipa/ui[IPA interface] add this
+  mailing list to `mailing list address` field of the group
+
+== Using the mailing list for bugzilla
+
+This is on the group to setup. Once they have their own mailing list they need to create
+an account on bugzilla with the mailing list address.
