If you're going to try to get other, non-Fedora, projects using this, having a new mailing list might be a better fit. People from other projects might not be especially keen to get the fedora-infra list discussion just to work on datanommer.
This is exactly what I'm trying to do, so...
On the other hand, the suggested list is for all statistics discussions *within* Fedora. Maybe it would be a better idea to have a datanommer list at Fedora Hosted, and leave Fedora-specific discussion to this list.
The worry I have when a project that Fedora is relying on heavily gets its own mailing list is that the communication between the project and Fedora Admins tends to degrade. Schedules for deployment, resources to host the service, people to maintain applications, etc all seem to get talked about on the other list and the infrastructure group gets pulled in at the last minute when we have to resolve conflicts, try to fix code unfamiliar to us, or simply say no.
It's easy for me to say "oh no, no, this won't happen," but it's a lot harder to keep that promise. ;) I can try my best to keep all of the discussions that need to happen here, here. Getting an RFR and a sponsor (which is something else I need to do) should probably help with that.
