Parameters in savannah/nongnu-conf about mailing-list are almost
completely useless. In most of the case, theses informations depends
on the group type of projects. And thoses informations are manage
using database (see Group Type Administration).

As far I understood, mailing-list are created by using a script called
sfverify, located on the mailing-list server.
If I'm right, there's no need to shutdown anything. We just need to
set up correctly mailman and to give to savannah (Group Type
Adminstration) the correct informations.
