[yocto-ab] Yocto Project mailing lists -- migration to groups.io

[Nicolas Dechesne]

hi Trevor,  (and Sean who brought up the same question to me directly!)

thanks for your answers. I am aware that some lists are not used
anymore. However the process will involve moving all lists at once,
and even though lists are 'inactive' we want to preserve
archives/history. We might consider 'closing' them after the migration
to groups.io by making them "read only".

Daniel: there is no requirement to use/have mailing for each meta repository!

cheers
