Don't forget we did move the repository to BAFServ for a while when people got
fed up with SF's CVS problems and the delays in getting SVN up (which I think
that went relatively smoothly). And it seems to me that the mailing lists has
more problems than CVS/SVN.

Other projects have moved mailing lists before without many problems. Just
need to make sure to update links on the website, and keep an archive of the
SF mailing list somewhere.
I'm personally not too sure if we should move yet. The idea is nice and I'd be
up for trying and all, but we'd need to make sure Google Groups is stable and
won't show its own problems somewhere. I can't really think of a way to test
that without actually moving, though. I suppose we could look for other
groups that have been on GG for a while and have had a fair amount of
activity, and see what they say.
