You're probably right.  Jeffrey, could you please send me the lists of
subscribers of all the lists as the first step?

Thanks for the info.

The bug tracking system is also used by Yngve and, believe or not :-),
users sometimes report bugs too.  So the users need to be stopped for a
while, there is no problem with moving the database itself.

Thanks.

Good idea.

Yes. :-)

I think so.  The idea is that the actions on sources.redhat.com can be
done during Thursday local time, if overseers are not too busy that day.
