When fencepost.gnu.org mailing list cron job next fires, we will have:

  address@hidden        [savannah requires all lists to use the m4- prefix]
  address@hidden        [already seet up to receive commit notification]
  address@hidden

and the already existing:

  address@hidden

As soon as the lists arrive, I will bulk subscribe us both to each, and also 
address@hidden to address@hidden  I wonder whether loop detection 
in mailman is good enough to allow me to also subscribe m4-discuss to 
m4-forum?

I really should update the gnu web pages for M4 shortly too... I think I will 
adapt the libtool pages, so that the contribution policy and such are 
available.  Now might also be a good time for me to codify some developer 
guidlines (commit policy etc.) to share between libtool and m4.

Cheers,
        Gary.
