Description

Currently, nix.dev pages include a field for adding an email address to receive notifications of updated or newly-published tutorials, which posts the form to a cachix endpoint.

To avoid any appearance of/potential for impropriety, it would be ideal to migrate these email notifications to official NixOS infrastructure. Do we have the capacity to support something like this?

Research direction

Start by reviewing source/_templates/subscribe.html and the current Cachix form endpoint. Coordinate with @NixOS/marketing-team and @NixOS/infra to determine whether official infrastructure can support the notifications; done means the subscription flow has migrated away from Cachix.
