Most lists probably have a 5 meg limit, as described at
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/sourceware/procedures/new-list.txt

Yes, ideally project leaders would be able to change the limit at
will.  But failing that, I'm not sure I want to get into the game of
"what should the limit be" for each list as I'm sure there are lots of
opinions (and there are lots of lists, that's for sure).
