I'd say just move forward with creating the new list. Once the new list=20
is created, send an announcement encouraging people to join. The new=20
list will be an opt in change, so you can encourage a transition date,=20
but why require it? Maybe monitor the subscriber lists for each list and =

provide people regular updates as to what percentage of the people in=20
the old list have subscribed to the new list. This will help inform=20
people whether the new list will be adopted or not. People may also miss =

a single announcement e-mail. There are too many messages going through=20
the list right now, and everyone doesn't read the list regularly.

I vote for "bitcoin-dev", only because of the consistency with the other =

projects that you mentioned, as well as the fact that I think there=20
should be at least some name change to avoid confusion between the new=20
and old lists.

I'd say move forward with the new list and subscribe it to the old list. =

That way the new list starts archiving the messages from here forward.=20
There may be a little bit of a problem if someone joins the new list but =

not the old list, they may not be able to reply to a message sent to the =

old list? You probably would get a duplicate delivery if doing this, but =

you could encourage users who have joined the new list to turn off=20
delivery on the old list (this is an option in the mailman settings page)=
=2E

Once greater than 50% of the members of the old list are members of the=20
new list, send out an announcement that the old list will be turned into =

read only mode in 3 weeks and to use the new list only after that time.=20
This way you don't have to force use of the new list and a majority=20
agreement is required before doing so and a technical leader is not=20
required to enforce a change without a solid commitment from most of the =

members. Right before the old list is shut down, send one final=20
announcement e-mail indicating it is closing and link to the new list=20
(so that new subscribers will be aware if they are looking at an archive =

of some kind).
