Hello,

I think there are two Mailmans on haskell.org. The page 
<http://haskell.org/mailman/admin> refers to the one which hosts 
haskell-cafe, ghc-users, etc. The other one hosts the mailing lists of 
projects.haskell.org.

You can host relatively small projects on projects.haskell.org and you can 
create a mailing list for each of them. So maybe projects.haskell.org is the 
way to go for you?

Best wishes,
Wolfgang
