I just setup this, and I have a problem: the list is members only. I'm not 
sure how to deal with this, since I don't think most people will want to 
suscribe to the commits list. Specially sporadic contributors. We should 
either whitelist mail sent from alioth (is this possible?), allow non-members 
posts, or don't send mail there at all.

I put these and Free's suggestions into that page. I also copied the 
setup-script from collab-maint and modified it a bit for our purposes.

PS: I think we can stop CCing each other, it's pretty clear we all read the 
lists.
