Handing over ubuntu-qa to the Qatar loco team

Greetings everyone ;-)

The Qatar loco team is starting up, which is wonderful to see ubuntu 
loco's continuing to spread. However, this means in order for the loco 
naming standard to continue, we must give up this mailing list name. 
Never fear, our archives and subscriptions will be migrated to the new 
list, but we need a new name.

Since I happened to be at UDS with some of you, I took a moment to poll 
the room. The two immediate ideas are
ubuntu-quality and ubuntu-testing. Ubuntu-testing was an obvious choice 
to keep the naming conventions of the launchpad team and irc channel the 
same. That said I preferred, as did everyone else, ubuntu-quality. So 
given the time sensitive nature of the request (it needs to happen 
ASAP), I'll leave this message open for feedback overnight. Assuming no 
one has a convincing argument or complaint, we'll move forward with the 
change to ubuntu-quality for a mailing list name.

This change will happen ASAP for the mailing list. Given the desire to 
keep things consistent, people seemed in agreement to undergo a full 
re-naming. This will require changing all of our documentation, 
migrating our IRC channel, migrating our launchpad team, etc, etc. Now 
taking volunteers for this effort :-p It won't be as bad as it sounds, 
but will require work and timing on our part to accomplish asap.

Thanks everyone!

Nicholas
