+1 for that, the pain is not that much, and we've discussed moving xfs list to
vger.kernel.org for a while, I really don't see a reason to do so, other than
people needing to update their e-mail addresses and maybe git configurations. To
relief even more the pain, xfs@sgi, could just forward the e-mails to linux-xfs
with a InReplyTo modified to linux-xfs even.

Althouh, I'm not sure how feasible is the last part.
