Hey Duck!

Stupid question perhaps but, have I understood it correctly that all of
us are going to have to create new accounts for the new mail-list
system, if we don´t wish to log in using Fedora, GitHub or Google? Or
are the existing local accounts going to be migrated as well?

That's how I interpreted it at least.
