I have absolutely no issues with removing me as a "single point of
failure", however, if you people want to do it then put up the *cash*,
time, and get some buy-in from all people doing the development work.
When my friends on the metalartists.org list lost the previous server
and I started a mailman server for them they donated money via paypal
to get to paid up for a year and a half after just a week. It might
not be hard, even with this bunch to get virtual server money.
For OpenVZ on Quantact.com servers you'd need to budget $30/month
for the level of RAM needed to run mailman. These prices might even
drop some as things progress, since some web hosters, (Network Solns),
with canned web-app packages (not root accounts), now run at $11/month.
I'm good for $20 for server support -- I expect that to go for
a years worth after asking the rest of the people that care to
contribute.
So now the question is "Who else will pledge money?".

I have two servers at MSTransactions that seem to work pretty well. For
about $100 per year you get a dedicated server. You have to maintain it
yourself, no cpanel, but I installed Virtualmin on them and run multiple
virtual http hosts.
Intel P3 667Mhz 256 MB 20 GB 500 Gb 10 Mbps 1 IP FREE
7.99/mo.

The only catch is the 10 Mbps speed, which might not be enough.
Jim.
