I don't have a server that would work for this, but I think it would
be nice to find a service that hosts FOSS projects for free, but
normally charges for the service. That way, no one in the batman
project has to worry about servers failing/upgrading/migrating/etc.

The first example that comes to mind is XMission because they are my
ISP. They use Mailman (same as we're using now), so we might even be
able to transfer the messages on the current Mailman server to the new
one. I'm not at all familiar with Mailman, but I'll call them today
and see what they say.
