If you send 3 warnings (1 per week) before disabling the sourceforge.net
mailing list (making it just a forward address), I think that's
sufficient.  We'll set up the new list on Gmane to feed into the same
gmane.emacs.bbdb.user newsgroup so people tracking it through Gmane see
no breaks.  We should be able to copy the member list anyhow.  If you
agree, go ahead and send the first of the warnings.

I'll try to set up the bbdb-vcs mailing list and plug it into Gmane,
meanwhile.
