This is now done - please start using linux-mips@vger.kernel.org instead
of linux-mips@linux-mips.org. The MAINTAINERS file has been updated to
reflect this, so anyone using get_maintainers.pl should start to see the
new list once they update to a new enough kernel.

The list is being archived at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mips/ - this
contains the history of the @linux-mips.org list, and new mail from the
@vger.kernel.org list going forwards.

Patchwork is available at https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mips/

As I said before, I'm still subscribed to linux-mips@linux-mips.org &
I'll keep an eye on it for a while, so if you already sent a patch there
please don't feel any need to resend it to the new list - just use the
new list next time.

Thanks,
    Paul
