New project mailing lists

[Philip Balister]

Based on discussion (which is mainly getting everyone looped into the
OEDEM conversation), Michael can you create a new list:

openemebdded-architecture - Discussions about overall OpenEmbedded
Architecture and status

I can't think of any better name and description. And Jefro, this is one
action from OEDEM we can mark complete. Who would like to announce this
to the world? I can if needed.
