Suggestions for transferring folks from pre-existing mailing lists.
Looking for some advise on a quick question:
What have folks generally done to transfer folks from an external mailing
list to a new podling mailing list?
- Forward mail from old list to new list @incubator.apache.org list ?
- Just add everyone from the old list to the new @incubator list?
(possible?)
- Just should we just send a message and have people subscribe to the new
list (which may lose some people in transition)?
Thanks,
Jon.

It would be good if someone could enhance the Guide docs
as they go. Here is one place where mail lists are mentioned:
