I'm more in favour of haiku-user@xxxxxxxxxxxx , but I have nothing
against haiku@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Perhaps setting up a date, like the 1th of September should be ok, if
that's ok with
the freelist team, so that we can make an announcement with the current name.
As for the other mailing list, since the traffic seems to be _very_
low, we can just close
and create new ones with standardized name, like haiku-<topic>@freelist.org.
