Moving would be a good thing.

But, I think Free Software projects should be hosted by charitable
organizations with free software as a goal.   Google lists in particular
are not friendly to those who decline to accept google's terms and have
a google login.  (While they can be made to work, the group pages do not
give instructions for signing up without an account.)

So, I would be inclined to have the project on a FSFE server, or on
savannah.nongnu.org, or someplace like that.

However, I'm not volunteering, so take this with a grain of salt.
