I basically agree with all the above. If there is general agreement,
I'm willing to continue as a co-moderator, but equally willing to pass
that on to someone else.

In case it's not sufficiently clear: we are moderators, not
administrators. We have *no power* over the list other than defining
certain policies (e.g. no digests), dealing with spam, and managing
membership. We have nothing to do with the hosting platform or the
Mailman implementation. IOW a decision to set up an alternate list
doesn't rely on us in any way.
