new savannah list notification text

[Karl Berry]

Right now, savannah sends a message like the below when a new list is
created.

I think it would be helpful to add a bit of info about how spam will be
deleted by default, new messages will be held, etc.  One experienced
maintainer thought his new list was a black hole.  (Apparently the text
on the list creation web page did not get his attention.)

If that idea sounds ok ... forgive my ignorance, but if someone can tell
what file to check out/in from what directory (or give a pointer to this
info in the wiki), I'll do something along those lines.  Or I could post
some new words here.

Thanks,
Karl

Subject: Mailman list texinfo-test

Hello,

You requested the creation of the list texinfo-test at gnu.org.

The list administrator password of the mailing list texinfo-test is:
                   eb8f02a9eb336df4

You are advised to change the password, and to avoid at any cost using
a password you use for others important account, as mailman does not
really provide security for these list passwords.

Regards,

Hi,

I don't really know.

My first guess is that it's hard-coded in the Savane source code, and
so it would need an additional configurable
(http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/administration/content/gnu-content/mail/?root=administration)
text file.
