I'm not sure if qemu's current list hosting (@nongnu.org, run by FSF) is
available, but it does a lot better at spam management. Also, qemu
recently aligned with the Software Freedom Conservancy
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-07/msg04802.html
and as such may have advice on how to migrate canonical management of a
project. Since qemu is one of the NBD implementations, there's at least
a relationship to consider.
