I personally would STRONGLY advocate for setting the default reply-to: for outages@ to go to -discussion. This has been 
an issue that plagued the old outages list for years and never got better. It actually got worse over time. A brand new 
list seems like a great time to change this behavior, at least to me.

Aside from that, thanks for the work behind the scenes to get things up and running again.
