Jorge,

This is definately not the sort of thing that the Incubator needs to approve,
so I'll take this as a call for feedback/advice.

I think it is a good practice to have project mailing lists browseable and
searchable on at least a few of these services.  The only problem I've
had with it is that if a random user registers it, it can be hard to fix
up the information if the list moves to a new address.  So it is good to
do it as a project action and to keep track of what is needed to update.

Best regards,
