I'll chime in and say I'd prefer to stay on mailman, rather then moving to
another list hosting software, even if it is hosted off wikimedia servers.

I know some people who aren't all that thrilled with using Google software,
and who would avoid the list for that reason, which I think is another
reason to reconsider. (google groups are ultimately in Google's control,
unlike Mailman).

I'm also concerned there wasn't any on-list discussion of this prior to the
decision being handed down from "above". I think it would be proper
netiquette to ask the subscribers and find out the whereabouts of the list
owner.
