We already host a collection of mailinglists, among which the
rather busy linux-irda list. List administrivia is completely
Web-based. You can find examples here:

http://www4.pasta.cs.uit.no/Mail_Archive/index.html

If you want, we can easily add a netbsd-hppa@pasta.cs.uit.no (or:
netbsd-hppa@anoncvs.no.netbsd.org if preferred ;)  saving
you the administrative trouble of list maintanance untill a
@netbsd.org list has been estabilished. Just tell me and it will
be up and running by Monday.
