I'd continue using @redhat.com, and slowly change to "official" local
domains as the needs arise.

Eg.: We already have fedora-users-br at redhat.com list for Brazilian
users. Hopefully, we'll soon have a registered Fedora NGO to facilitate
local operations. When this is done, we could possibly migrate lists to
a @projetofedora.org.br (Fedora Project in Brazilian Portuguese) domain.

Acting locally under internationally agreed guidelines...

Opinions?
