This should be near done.  I'm waiting from some more info from Red 
Hat's guys on actual IP information.  AFAIK though the lists are ready 
and waiting for @fedoraproject.org lists.  Note: this does create more 
work for our team on new list creation because we'll have to create an 
alias in our systems for the new list.  This could cause delay for some 
new lists.

I'm not familiar with the history of this so if you get a moment I'd 
appreciate it.
