So, the other thought that I had here was actually to have "English"
lists and then simply have a category for each of the other sets of
lists.  In other words, something like:

English

  User Lists
    pgsql-announce
    pgsql-general

  Developer Lists
    pgsql-hackers
    pgsql-gui-dev

  whatever else

German

  pgsql-de-allgemein

French
  pgsql-fr-generale

Spanish
  pgsql-es-ayuda
  pgsql-es-fomento
  pgsql-es-trabajos

This makes it a bit less English-centric, imv, but keeps the more
popular lists towards the top.  I'll need to chat with Magnus a bit
about making this a reality since it adds another level, but I don't
expect that to be a huge issue and it wouldn't change the actual email
addresses.

Thanks!
