Probably because we had no machine like that when we set up the first
mailing lists.

It was discussed once to move all the list to something like
lists.fedoraproject.org (can't remember when and where -- a year ago on
fedora-devel or fedora-infrastrcture? maybe someone else might
remember), but it was decided back then that it's to much work for a
small gain.

Do we want to revisit that? Then the mailing list reorganization
suddenly becomes a really big project.

That would have some benefits:

 * a much clearer differentiation between Fedora Project and Red Hat

 * more control over the lists; from what I've heard between the words
by some people it seems to be a bit problematic to interact with the Red
Hat IS that maintains the lists.

If others agree with that I'm for it, too. But I'll be a lot of work.
Then I want help ;-)
