There are other cgi-bin binaries we run on sourceware, but this particular
one was not setup again after the last transition.

For glibc I switched to linking directly the mailman listinfo page:

e.g.
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/started.html

[libc-announce] -> https://sourceware.org/mailman/listinfo/libc-announce/

It avoids needing a cgi-bin to register mailing list requests and more
directly exposes the user to our mailing lists which is good IMO since
they can see the archive page, and set more parameters for their subscription.
