There is also gitosis (the software, not the hosting service) and 
redmine (a trac alternative)

Neither have "email mailing list integration", but all can blurt out 
emails in response to stuff happening (is that what integration means?)

I'm not joining in anymore, but:

a) I think moving hosting *is* a big undertaking. Hence my previous 
attempts to help you get it right this time

b) It's not clear to me what you actually mean by "email integration".  
If you wanted help, perhaps you should define what you mean by this, for 
example perhaps by pointing to another project which achieves this 
integration that you desire?  As near as I can understand, you don't 
believe that you have such integration right now, so I don't see why it 
should become a factor in deciding to switch (no worse than the status quo)?

c) Related to b) It's not clear why you feel the mailing lists need to 
move if the rest of the project hosting moves?

Good luck finding a solution
