CodeSourcery is agnostic with respect to the domain name used for the
mailing list.

[However, I do think it's odd that the FSF worked so hard to get GCC to
come from gcc.gnu.org, but binutils and lots of other GNU stuff still
comes from sources.redhat.com.]

If someone wants to set up the list on another machine, go for it.
CodeSourcery won't object if it's @gcc.gnu.org, @redhat.com,
@microsoft.com, @sco.com, or anything else.

Zack took proactive action to try to move towards solving an important
problem. He set up a short-term list to try to involve people in an
open discussion about what needed to be done. I'm disappointed that the
responses are dealing with the domain name and not with the topic at
hand.
