There is a discussion that somewhere in their site about their HW setup.
Suffice to say that it is multiple terabytes in HD size, 40+ processors,
yadda, yadda. Reliability and bandwidth are not an issue, I don't think.

I have too give you write access. Let me know your sourceforge login, and
I'll start taking care of it.

Sure- I meant this (perhaps- I may be wrong) as a very minimal list- no
discussion, announcements about versions or important patches only.

I don't think we want to fragment it any more, that's for sure. I just
thought one very focused list with very minimal traffic would be a good idea.

Fair enough.

As I understand it (and I can check fairly easily) only the very front
page needs an advertisement- the rest of the pages are advertisement
free. I may be wrong, though.

Fair :)

Sure. Up to you :)
