When my friends on the metalartists.org list lost the previous server and I started a mailman server for them they donated money via paypal to get to paid up for a year and a half after just a week. It might not be hard, even with this bunch to get virtual server money. For OpenVZ on Quantact.com servers you'd need to budget $30/month for the level of RAM needed to run mailman. These prices might even drop some as things progress, since some web hosters, (Network Solns), with canned web-app packages (not root accounts), now run at $11/month. I'm good for $20 for server support -- I expect that to go for a years worth after asking the rest of the people that care to contribute. So now the question is "Who else will pledge money?".
