The mailing list we are using now is a common-lisp.net one. Unlike  
"more liberal" providers such as Sourceforge and Savannah, common- 
lisp.net will let you pick and choose which services you want at your  
discretion, and set them up to your liking, to the point of creating a  
mailing list without a source repository like this one. You can set up  
trac for your bug tracking, or I'm sure that other systems would be  
possible - in fact I'm confident that if you wanted to run a tracker  
system of your own written in Common Lisp, the administrators would be  
amenable to that. I wonder if the "liberal" hosting providers would do  
that?

Also note that, unlike Sourceforge, there aren't large banners  
advertising Windows software tacked on to each message. And unlike  
Savannah, common-lisp.net has an uptime of over two months...
