Certainly fine with me.  I completely missed that we had two
lists for this.  The only reason I suggested gdb-testresults was that
I knew there was a test results mailing list, but, I wasn't subscribed
to it, and then when I went looking for the archives url, gdb-testresults
was what Firefox url history bar autocompleted.  :-)
