I'd personally consider this a bit rude. At least you should wait a few
days for people to opt-out of that if they like to.

Also, I'm not sure whether all people currently listed in the Alioth
group list are active in the group; my experience is that the Alioth
lists do not always reflect the "real" situation. Moving inactive
maintainers makes no sense. I think if someone is active and agrees with
the change, they'll take care of subscribing.

This effort was started with good intentions and should not look like to
outsiders like a "hostile" take-over. I have no clue how it actually
does look as feedback so far was quite rare. I'm not sure if this is
silent agreement or not.

Best regards,
Manuel
