I don't know that this is true. The list archive is open, so I think
anyone has the right to mirror it (though I may be wrong on that); in
any case, "a majority of users" would not be the governing force
behind anything. Even "a majority of posters" (which would be
infinitely easier to calculate) isn't the government of this list. I'm
not sure who _does_ own the list, but my guess would be either the PSF
or some entity representing the Python community in some other way.
