Josh, someone pointed out the list discussion going on today, and I
wanted to comment on this, but am not subscribed:

If you already use mailman, it would be seamless, as GForge does too. It
would be a matter of entering all the mailman lists into the GForge
database (probably scriptable, assuming GBORG had any rational naming
convention).

Same again most likely. GForge uses unix groups & users to control CVS,
so they would have to be backfilled into the GF database.

GF uses mailman to archive lists for now (although GF4 has a snazzier
system)

I may be able to help you migrate your database structure over, assuming
it is even remotely understandable.
