As you can see from the mails from Michaels Lee and Tsirkin, we're  
working on moving e-mail to the new server.  We had in mind some  
changes to propose:

1. Rename the openib-general list to be general at lists.openfabrics.org.

2. Rename the openfabrics-ewg list to be ewg at lists.openfabrics.org.

3. ...similarly rename all other lists to remove the now-redundant  
openib-* and/or openfabrics-* prefixes.

--> For items 1-3, mail aliases can be put in place so that people's  
current addressbooks won't break (i.e., if you mail openib- 
general at openib.org, it'll still get to the  
general at lists.openfabrics.org list), but the "real" list names will  
be the shorter names, etc.  So mailman URLs will change, "from"  
addresses will change, etc.

4. Have a general commits at lists.openfabrics.org list that will get  
mails of all SVN commits and commit messages from anyone who chooses  
to have their git commit mails sent there.

5. Have a bugs at lists.openfabrics.org list that will get *all*  
bugzilla activity.

These are just ideas, and not from the guys who are doing OFA  
development (i.e., Michael Lee and myself).  So your input would be  
welcome here...  Comments?
