Ok, I'll mention that in the bug report requesting the list with the
option to back out of that for now.

The other question then would be:

1. Should we get the subscriber list migrated?

2. Should we try to get the archive migrated?

I think 1.) make sense, but 2.) proabably doesn't as I'd guess we do a
"soft-migration" of Maintainer-fields, i.e. no hard cut when we switch
over, just a gradual phasing out of debichem-devel as more and more
packages use the new list.

Right, I forgot to mention that I did not request the debichem-commits
mailing-list to be migrated and assumed nobody would mind if we drop
that. If you feel otherwise, please speak up!
