Build-reports will remain separate. When we get the automatic tool it
will have a separate address.

The users' list is the newsgroup, comp.emacs.xemacs. Its charter does
not permit non-English posts. Other than the language based lists,
this reorganization will leave a bunch of special purpose lists
(-patches and -cvs to actually track the workflow, a couple of admin
lists, -buildreports), and xemacs-beta.
Renaming could be done, but I'd rather not rush it, as there are
issues like backward compatibility of archive usage etc.
