[om-infra] Mailing list migration and next steps

Hello,

Yesterday my attempt at migrating all 16 of our MLs from my previous
webhost to the new one was successful. So far I haven't seen any problems,
and (at least) Infra and Cooker MLs are working fine.

There are some things, though, that could not be migrated primarily because
I had to recreate all mailman lists manually on my new webhost's server.
They are:

   1. List personal preferences, such as digest options, subscriptions
   password & settings, etc.
   2. Non-English display names (eg., Raphael's, Bero's, etc.)
   3. Archives - although I couldn't import the archives into the new
   lists, I do have a recent backup of all our ML archives. I'll pass it on to
   the Infra team for it to be stored on one of OM's servers.

I think it's important to make a *brief announcement* of the same (esp.
points 1 and 2) to our OMA community knows what they have lost in the
transition. I request the Comm Team to take this up on blog.

Btw, the URL of web interface to access MLs has changed a bit. New URLs can
be found here:
