Re: [Printing-architecture] RFC: Moving the printing-architecture list

As Ira and Mike I also prefer the developer lists.

Please only migrate printing-architecture, all the other lists have not 
been used for decades and only collect spam.

Please also create a user list as Mike suggests.

Will the archives of printing-architecture be conserved? Or migrated? 
They are a knowledge base and I have many links to them in my 
OpenPrinting News (so ideally we would put a static copy somewhere for 
example in GitHub, where the static pages of OpenPrinting are, and do 
some linking, aliasing, ... to make everything appear under the old URLs).
