#3136: switch to new mailing lists

------------------------+-------------------------
We're already hosting a number of mailing lists on lists.buildbot.net, but
only using sysadmin at buildbot.net and botherders at buildbot.net.
Back in July we were scheming to switch everyone over to the new list.
This involved
* announce at buildbot.net
* users at buildbot.net
* devel at buildbot.net
The plan is to take the list of subscribers currently on buildbot-
devel at lists.sourceforge.net and move that group to users at buildbot.net
(since it's primarily a Q&A list).
We're also going to import archives. Amar has a way to get the archives
from SF and import them.
The timing is a little tricky to work out, though. We need to give folks
enough warning to know when they should start to send to the new address,
and we need to move the subscribers over and deactivate the old list
reasonably quickly. I don't know if the archives need to be imported at
exactly that time, or if we can backfill.
Draft email:
---
As part of Amar's great work in setting up Buildbot's dedicated
infrastructure, it's time to transition away from SourceForge mailing
lists and over to our own hosted lists.
So, as of <<WHEN?>> this list's address will become
users at buildbot.net, and at that time
buildbot-devel at lists.sourceforge.net will no longer work. You will
receive a subscription email from the new list, and should update your
address book appropriately.
We have a bunch of other lists, too, as seen on
http://lists.buildbot.net. Buildbot-devel has gotten
a bit over-used, both for discussion among users and for development
traffic. For folks involved in contributing to or developing
Buildbot, I'd point especially to devel at buildbot.net.
Folks not interested in the day-to-day, but interested in
announcements about new releases, please subscribe to
announce at buildbot.net.
We'll be importing the archives for buildbot-devel to the new users@
list, so they will remain searchable both on http://lists.buildbot.net
and on the external mirrors (gmane, etc.).
