Ouch!  Moving my project off GBorg wasn't so hard, but forcing all mailing
list subscribers to move to a different address does hurt.

If the same goes for many other projects on there, wouldn't it be possible
to move all mail handling for gborg.postgresql.org over to pgFoundry at
once, but preserve the domain name and list names?  It may help people
make the jump if mailing list migration could be decoupled from the other
changes.
