Re: [UG-ADMINS] What about making this list public on https://www.mail-archive.com/

By moving the list away from php.net, are we moving the user groups away
from the main php.net project, or just choosing a different tooling?  I am
unclear what structure a new list would be part of, so I'm unsure about
this move but I'm definitely +1 on making it easier for user group leaders
to be in touch with one another.
