moving sqlalchemy, others to librelist

Hello Zed et al -

Given Google Groups declining service and Google's rush to become another 
Facebook, I'd like to move my lists to Librelist.    This would include 
sqlalchemy, sqlalchemy-devel, mako, and alembic.

The SQLAlchemy list is the only one that has any kind of traffic, maybe 
ten to twenty messages a day, and the group on google has 2700 members.   
I'd expect a new list would take a long time to get back to that number as
most of those 2700 are people that had one question like three years ago 
and just kept their membership on.   

There's nothing I really need here, just wanted to give you a heads up in 
case there's some concern about getting a lot of subscriptions quickly, or
something.    It would probably only be max a few hundred over the next 
month or so.   Also, it's possible a lot of projects are going to start 
jumping ship from Google groups too and I'd like to encourage other 
projects like Pyramid to come over.

Yeah, that's no problem.  The service doesn't cost me much, although I
should probably move it to another machine soon.

Let me know if you have problems.
