There are so many parse errors in the above text that I don't know where to
start... but I get your point :)
There was once a debian-de mailing list and I think there is now a debian-at
mailing list that is not hosted at our site. Use that as a template.

I agree with the comments about IA-64 being invalid, but I'd also like to
add that there is _some_ effort on an AMD x86-64 port, so we shouldn't
outright reject them. Tag it moreinfo.

I think exim might actually deserve a whole new -exim-maint list, since it's
likely that there will be two versions of exim in the archive soon (v3 and
v4), which leaves a lot of room for discussion and bugs. :) If nothing else,
using ssh as a precedent.
Perhaps we could compromise with a debian-mta list? Not sure...
