What's involved to implement this? I don't think mailman has a move tab. ;-) It's a matter of creating a separate list and importing the members from the current list (foundation-l), right? Will [email protected] continue to function after April 7 (as a redirect/alias) or will only the new address? Will the archives be permanently split? Are there any other consequences of a list rename? I'll note (again) that in your 2004 proposal to create "foundation-l" you specifically cited the desire to "avoid 'Wikipedia/Wikimedia' style typos" by not choosing "wikimedia-l" as the list name.[1] I'm still not sure a move (from "foundation-l" to "wikimedia-l") has more benefit than cost.
