Can we do it by just dropping catalog-sig and keeping
distutils-sig? I'm afraid we might lose some important
distutils-sig population if the process involves renaming the
list, resubscribing, etc. I also *really* don't want to
invalidate archive links to the distutils-sig archive.
All in all, +1 on not having two lists, but I'm really worried
about "breaking" distutils-sig. We're still going to be talking
about "distribution utilities", after all.
Worst case I'm sure subscribers can be transferred and the existing
archive kept intact.
That's a great way to have a bunch of people complaining that they
never subscribed to packaging-sig, not to mention the part where it
breaks everyone's mail filters.
I really don't see any gains for renaming the list. It's not like we
can go and scrub the entire internet of references to distutils-sig.
Not to mention breaking the gmane.org gateway, and those of us who sip
the firehose there instead of trying to swallow it via e-mail.

This problem is inherent no matter what name is picked. GMane will need
updated and some messages will need sent to tell people about the new
name. No matter what at least one name isn't going to be used anymore.
It's not that big of a deal.
FWIW: I am a GMANE-sipper and I'm willing to rejoin a new packaging-sig
list (as well as register the new list with GMANE if no one else does).
Seems to me another viable option is to simply turn off catalog-sig and
distutils-sig (while preserving the archives forever, of course) and
just start chatting on packaging-sig. Send an email to both lists "Last
post, please join packaging-sig" and you are done.
