[sumo] README: List status update

[Angie]

Once again, gotta say it!  We appreciate the extra trouble you are going to do

It would be easier and cheaper to use Yahoo, but with the number of problems
we've had in Yahoo groups during the past few months (*shudder*), well this
list has been remarkably reliable!
