I was thinking about that. I was actually surprised at how many people
this affected. It only affected one filter for me so it wasn't that big
of a deal. One thing I would note is that there is no longer a footer
that tells people what to do if they want to unsubscribe. Perhaps one
thing that could be done is a header (for a temporary time period) that
says:

The mailing list software of Postgresql.org has changed. Please see this
page on instructions on how to manage your subscription and filters.

And then after the temporary time period that becomes a footer?

Thanks,
