i) Distinct domain, better branding, separation of secular and
corporate.

ii) Ability to control lists from within the project, instead of being
beholden to a sponsor's overworked IS team[1]

iii) Creating a public website request methodology to allow people to
form e.g. international, language, or other topic based lists more
easily.

There still needs to be a level of IS-type control from within Fedora,
we don't want to be the SourceForge of any-mailing-list-you-can-dream-
of.

This idea was in response to seeing people wanting to open new mailing
lists but not knowing what to do.  I'll bet that I'm one of about 15% of
Fedora involved Red Hat employees who knows how to request a mailing
list.

Why should I be the gateway to mailing lists?

Anyway, it's an idea that I am still mulling over, I'm not all decided
or nothing.

[1] By this I mean, _every_ IS team is overworked. :)
