Agreed that at this point in time, having everything centralized here is the best way forward.
I would like to make a request for the future though, that if a list is marked for deletion that a message is sent out on that list informing them. (maybe a week ahead of time). I was the admin for the bay area list and didn't know if was deleted until my email to it bounced. It would have been helpful to let folks know, and encourage them to enlist here if they weren't already (or to join the meetup group which is now being used at the local event list as well). At this point in the project, we can use as many mappers as possible, and don't want to lose folks who may only be involved on a localized level.
