OASIS demands that they host docbook-tc@. I believe that the docbook@
list is historically what OASIS would have named docbook-interest@, I
don’t know if they’ll insist on hosting that as well.

I’ve no objection to moving the lists, in any event.

We should definitely setup mail.docbook.org for this.

Moving the one off sf.net is a good idea, for sure.
