Aside from how nice it would be to use lists.fp.o (well, more typing,
but "All together now!" is a good reason), there is the single most
important challenge.

It still requires @redhat.com to initially request a mailing list.  I'm
not against restricted access for list requests, but it should be by
role/position (merit) and not employment status.

If the best way to solve this is to pull the list server over the wall,
fine.  If we can get a hook into FAS and a 'maillist_requester' into
listman.redhat.com, fine.
