Re: Can we host the Boehm GC mailing list?

From Hans Boehm on the GC list a few hours ago:

Thank you!

I would like to proceed with this move.  I'm still working on the logistics
at this end.  Please let me know if you have any concerns.

In the absence of concerns (expressed to me in the next day or so), my goal
will be to move everything, including subscriber lists and archives, as
transparently as possible.  If that turns out not to be possible, you'll
hear more.  Clearly the address of the mailing list will change, and the
new address will be announced.

There will probably be hiccups in the next week or so ...
