Either we need to find another list server, or we explain we have been
talking to GregKH and are planning to go via staging.

We have a catch-22 here with vger. It seems like you need to be near
for submission to get an account, but we don't really want to submit
until we have an open list.

What ever we decide, we should explain the situation to his guy. As
net maintainer he has the power to decide if we ever make it out of
staging into the net part of mainline.
