One possibility is that we could "rename" the list which while a bit messy
is certainly doable.
(In essence, you create a new mailing list, copy over the archives and
subscriptions and then close the old list)

That way there would still be a single list, and given that
kde-windows at kde.org has effectively been serving as the Craft mailing list
for some time I don't think there should be any major objections to this.

Cheers,
Ben
