The one question I would have would be do the kernel.org people want to
see all of the traffic that we currently have on the open fabrics 
general list for all of the user-space components? 

I do not think it would be good if we had to have one list on vger for
kernel work and another one for all the user-space work.  Other than
that, I do not really care where the general develop list is hosted. 

my 2 cents,
