Mozilla proposed newsgroup list FINAL. It's a .txt - deal with it. New mailing lists will be @mozilla.org e.g. mozilla.dev.quality becomes mozilla-dev-quality@mozilla.org. The closest mappings to the old groups are given; this is to help with recommendations and auto-subscribing of mailing list members. Important point: one or more groups (definitely mozilla.users.wishlist) will have Magic which appends the FAQ URL to each post, to heighten the likelihood that people read it.
