Exactly.

Yes, the list names must satisfy GNU conventions.  And the consistency
of the overall GNU mailing list names has a precedence over old list
names of a particular subproject.

OTOH you can find all GNU announcement lists in a single place.  And
according to the GNU conventions, the lists info-PROJECT and
help-PROJECT should always exist if there are any mailing lists for
PROJECT there at all.
