two new mailing lists

We need a general discussion list where students and mentors can come
and ask questions, discuss proposals, etc.  I didn't want that to be
this list, so we can continue to have a place for SIG business and not
have it be noisy.  This is based on my GSoC experience of how many
students drop in to ask questions, etc., on the general discussion
list.

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/summer-coding-discuss

* Open subscription (confirm only)
* Open archives
* List membership visible to list members
* Topics -- anything related to the current year's Summer Coding
  program

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/summer-coding-mentors

* Closed subscription (confirm + approval)
* Closed archives (subscribers only)
* List membership visible only to admins (debatable idea!)
* Topics -- anything that should be private: proposals, performance,
  financials, student/mentor problems, etc.

Does that make sense?

Join away, please.  If you were a mentor previously or seriously plan
on mentoring for this year, you are invited to the mentor list.

I'll be sending a copy of this to the redhat-summer-mentors list as
the last location where the most mentors were together.  In that
message I explain why a Fedora-specific list for discussion and
mentors.  Essentially, it is because student and mentor interaction
for JBoss.org and Fedora Project are going to be very different during
the actual running of the program, and we will create confusion for
everyone if we have all the work happening on one list.  Just as we
ask students to interact directly with upstreams, any students working
on JBoss.org needs to have their non-administrivia discussions
happening there.
