It was just that one backscatter flood targeting the ewg list, right?

It's really annoying to people trying to report bugs etc to get the
bounce about subscribers-only lists.  Would it make sense to move the
hosting of the general list to vger.kernel.org, since they have a lot
more resources/experience as mail admins and seem to be able to run open
but relatively spam-free lists?
