I have a bunch of minor projects on SF, which I'm now going to look into moving, and yes, migrating the mailing list is the hard part. Project hosting on my own server is easy; mailing list hosting is not. (I used to run my own mailing lists. Never, ever, again.) One option is to migrate away from mailing lists and towards something like a forum; but forums, while they provide very low barrier-to-entry, produce a fundamentally terrible user experience. (Yes, including HN. This text box I'm typing into is an embarrassment.) What I'd really like, I suppose, is a service which provides an easy-to-use web forum with an SMTP gateway for those people who hate forums. And then have it all hosted via my project website so that I don't have to redirect people to some dubious third pary site. Bet I'm not going to find one, though...
