Mail does seem to be flowing, although I am a bit cautious due to some
strange hang-ups at the primary listserver.

Syncing the lists between two listservers is interesting, too...
I've thought about how to implement such a tool. It's not easy to do so
since the two listservers are running different mail transport agents and
the primary is using a tricky hack to handle mail for lists.debian.org.

Unfortunately, the Debian lists are run using Smartlist, which doesn't
offer the "which" function.
