It would be good to reorganize the mailing list names; we could create
"savannah-hackers-public",
"savannah-hackers-private". savannah-hackers would point to
savannah-hackers-public for "compatibility".

We could also clean-up "savannah-root", since the name is not very
precise.

And rename savannah-reports to savannah-reports-private.

However, I would always have them managed by Mailman. Having the list
archive is a very convenient feature.

It's me. The change fixes the missing "-p" option in mkdir and was
taken from Savane. I'll remember to change it back after the merge.
