Umm.. I can't help you with actually finding a home for your list, as our local
policy requires that lists have a local sponsor.  I however have a suggestion:
 
Don't call the list hotline-l, as this will tend to attract people looking
for OTHER hotline-related issues, be they suicide prevention programs, 911
services, and so on.  Currently, about 20% of the traffic on the MAILBOOK
mailing list (which is for the discussion of Rich Schafer's MailBook package
for reading and sending e-mail on IBM VM/CMS systems) is from people who
think it is a "MAILing list about BOOKs"....
