Hooray, more git discussion. :(

I wasn't suggesting turning off CVS access, just stop the slightly
misleading advertisement of it in the "Source Code" menu. It's still
used for the Emacs web pages, so it is useful to have those
instructions there for that.

But they are standard lists.gnu.org lists:

http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-emacs-windows
http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-emacs-sources

AFAIK, there is no difference between these and eg bug-gnu-emacs.
