Moving it anywhere but sourceforge seems like a good plan. The other obvious choice would be vger.kernel.org, but I'm happy with Debian. To be aware of: I believe moving to Debian mailing lists means that users need to abide by the Debian Code of Conduct (https://www.debian.org/code_of_conduct). This is in my opinion no bad thing, but people should be aware of this as it is (I believe, correct me if I am wrong) a consequence of the move. Note the code of conduct thing isn't a contributor agreement or whatever, it is in essence a statement that you should be respectful to people on the list and therefore should be unobjectionable.
