Well, first they set the servers in the datacenter(s) first, then
aliases, @mageia.org, assigning ensues. (Personally I don't see a
particular hurry about that especially as there's no SVN repos yet).
Also bear in mind that the news about the new fork made a lot of users
start using mailing lists for the first time (I see some users who're
more used to using forums posting here \o/). So it's not just a
reminder, but actually a first-time-note about the whole
mailing-lists-posting-etiquette which is brand new to some users.
