Well, I think we should keep this list for our discussions of the
foundation and create a new, moderated one for the announcements.

This way we won't mess up with our mailing lists (since a lot of
people are already on this list), but we'll also have a general
announcement list where people can get announcements and important
information about the foundation only.

We can't really use vote gnome org (or however we'll call the
list where the actual votes will go) for anything else than the
votes; keep in mind that we have over 500 people who'll be able
to vote, so you'll get over 500 mails on this list ...
