Move the list to lists.fedoraproject.org?

[Mark Wisner]

I also like the idea of calling the list ppc64 to distinguish it from
previous PPC versions.

Apologies, perhaps a bit of cart before the horse on my end.  The current
fedora-ppc@ list is focused on "List for discussion of fedora on the ppc
platform, particularly Apple Macintosh centric".  With the current revival
effort of the Power architecture in Fedora as a secondary arch, the team
working on that is primarily focused on ppc64.  While there are certainly
are similar challenges from a release engineering perspective, it seems
appropriate to me to just call the new list what it focused on ...
ppc64 at lists.fedoraproject.org.

I fully expect there to be knowledge sharing between ppc and ppc64, however
very little of the install media produced for ppc64 will be useful for
non-IBM hardware.

Thoughts/comments/concerns?

Thanks,
James
