This would seem to be good.  Many folks never touch a news reader or 
google groups.  It sounds like the news stuff is being done well enough 
that spam concerns and such could be addressed without miminal agony.

I also like the idea of keeping the existing address as usable for posting 
purposes.

Was any consideration given to an intermidiate sort of list/group?  We 
have a lot of folks who aren't developers of bugzilla itself and don't 
intend to be who have questions that are more code-oriented.  Given that 
code confuses many sadly (so it should be minimized in the support area) 
and the developers list should be focused on general issues and isn't the 
ideal place to deal with support stuff, having another group in between 
might be good.
