FYI, a team has volunteered to migrate the mailinglists from alioth to a
new host when Alioth gets shut down.

	https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/MailingListContinuation

The actual migration to the new host is an opt-in process to be
triggered by the list owners. I expect about 50% of the lists to go
away on request of the owners (a lot of -commit lists) or due to a lack
of response.

We can just send you a list of still-existing lists when the migration
is complete, then you could drop everything that is not on this list. Is
that okay for you?
