I'm in at the start of a similar process of evaluation.

I've just stumbled on keila.io - open source, bring your own email provider, nice enough block editor, they can host or self-hosted (still don't understand the business model, but hey ho)

Any other open source newsletter platforms not on 4ar0n's list?

Edit: forgot hosted or self-host

Whoa, nice! You just resolved my primary concern about using Open Source projects, which is relying on "Community Support".

Ghost is oddly missing

I'd never heard of Ghost.org, but looking at their website, they appear to be much more than just a free newsletter platform. It's not what I'm looking for, but it does look pretty cool for somebody that needs a professional publishing stack. They show their competitors as Medium, WordPress, Substack, and Patreon, and if I were considering any of those I'd give Ghost a closer look.
