Opening subscriptions to mirror-list{,-d} ?

[Matt_Domsch at Dell.com]

Marek, there were no objections that I saw.  Can you open this up now?  We may still move it to @lists.fedoraproject.org, but for now, let's just open the perms.

Thanks,
Matt

Therefore, the only "benefit" an admin gets to being on mirror-list from a Red Hat corporate perspective would be advanced notice of new bits being staged or made available, at most 1 week advance notice.

This is fine with me, if no one objects I will open the list next week on Tue. I would also like to thank Matt and Adrian for their awesome work.
