That could be. It is a feature improvement over Mailman, certainly
(the features we actually use, anyway, and it's much less clunky). So
from that perspective I can certainly endorse it.

On the same note, if -users moves there we should probably take -ARM,
-br, -commits, -devel, -recipes, -recipes-commits, and -www there too,
so that everything's in the same place and has the same tools
available. That's dependent on buy-in from everyone else, of course,
so let's see how that goes. If it gets the go-ahead I'll migrate the
users across and set the current addresses to forward tomorrow. I'll
preserve the old archives where they are, so they'll still be
Google-able.
