[General] Canonicalizing mailing list names

Hi all,
At the moment, our mailing lists are named in a confusing fashion:
we have:
'dev' -> chandler development
'cosmo' -> cosmo development
'scooby' -> scooby development
This is a historical artifact of the days when we only had one
project -- and those days are long gone. So I'd like to propose that
we rename the mailing lists is a way that is more indicative of their
purpose. Here are two possible schemes:
1. all lists are <list>@osafoundation.org, and we prefix each list by
the name of the project
dev -> chandler-dev at osafoundation.org
cosmo -> cosmo-dev at osafoundation.org
scooby -> scooby-dev at osafoundation.org
When we need end-user mailing lists (and we will):
chandler-user at osafoundation.org
cosmo-user at osafoundation.org
scooby-user at osafoundation.org
general at osafoundation.org would remain the same.
2. all lists are list at project.osafoundation.org
dev -> dev at chander.osafoundation.org
cosmo -> dev at cosmo.osafoundation.org
scooby -> dev at scooby.osafoundation.org
the end user lists would be:
user at chandler.osafoundation.org
user at cosmo.osafoundation.org
user at scooby.osafoundation.org
general at osafoundation.org would remain the same.
