Would you please be so kind as to checkin patches that remove emails
that bounce and set them to libc-alpha@sourceware.org? This is the
kind of obvious patch that you can checkin without review.

all *locale* email references to libc-alpha@sourceware.org.
We need to bring all the discussions back to libc-alpha and
start from the ground up again.

Thanks for driving this forward Jeff.
