All lovely options, if we started with mailing lists today.
Unfortunately we already have the list openstack-operators *and* we have
the general list to move to a new host. I'd rather not move *two* lists,
annoying two large sets of people and losing many of them in the
process. Sometimes (and I believe this is one of the cases) you have to
live with 'technical debt'.

The viable options are A1 or A2 or A3*
(s/openstack-general/openstack-users/) or

Option C (dev, announce and operators as user/general list --no renames,
no moving stuff around, just a new description)
openstack-operators at lists.openstack.org
openstack-announce at lists.openstack.org
openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org

forget about this, we have to move out of LP for lists.

I would go with option C but if that's not an option then let's create a
new list (B1 nomenclature for the new list gets my vote) and leave
-operators as is.
