 maptools.org hosts a number of mailing lists that are OSGeo-related. The
 issue is that maptools.org is more than an aging server using an outdated
 Linux distribution. Its SMTP port has being blocked by the ISP due
 apparently to spam circulating (although I didn't see any spam circulating
 on the lists I'm subscribed to), so the mailing lists currently are unable
 to deliver emails to the subscribers since a couple of days, which is
 annoying. I would want those mailing lists (using mailman) to be migrated
 away from maptools.org to lists.osgeo.org. Ideally with their message
 archives and subscriber lists. I have access to maptools.org to do any
 needed backup for the migration (the backup itself shouldn't be made
 public since I see mailman store subscriber password unencrypted), with
 some guidance since I'm not much knowledgable about mailman.
