As per RMS' suggestion, I invited only admins (~4000 persons afaicr). Now we need to auto-invite people at account creation.

Jim had also wondered whether managing 40000 invites (and their associated confirmation hashes) would be a problem for Mailman. That would worth asking the Mailman people (mailman-developers@python.org?).

This is still not done. We need to:
1) filter the list of people to invite, removing people already subscribed and already invited. Log of the first and aborded invite job is at list@lists.gnu.org:addresses.announce
2) either a) split the list of e-mails to invite and perform multiple, small queries to Mailman that won't hit the Apache timeout or b) script the invitation job using Python on lists, but last Elfyn tried, he ran into troubles (I think, the conformation URL was not valid or something)
3) auto-invite people at account creation time

Mailing lists are set-up. savannah-users was previously what we would now call savane-users, and closed (discard all) because they was no activity.

We have to modify the registration e-mail or webtexts or process so as to propose the newly created users to subscribe to these ML.

Meanwhile, a permanent text on the home page should be enough.

2 mailing lists could be created:
- savannah-announce, where we would post what we currently post in news (and we could post more news along the way)
- savannah-announce-discuss or savannah-users (more general and already existing), that would be the reply-to of the savannah-announce, and where could discuss anything (no moderation, maybe we won't even subscribe)

2 invites will be posted, after we are done with writing to savannah-newprojects about project confirmations for the 2nd time
