I kinda think given the different usecases of the core lists and
external ones as well as the huge setup differences (mj2 vs mailman for
example) it would make more sense to let those go as well because
migration will be at least as complex as guiding people to other services.

well I can easily imagine that putting a (hopefully powerful) search on
top of that aggregator and being able to search data we already have (in
the wiki database or pgf itself) seems logical.
