[Wikimediaindia-l] Request for a new list

[Theo10011]

I believe you need to file a bug for this Ashwin. If you want, I can file it
for you and get someone to close the request.

Are you sure about the title? I would suggest something like
WikiIndia-events or Wikimediaindia-events list. So that it doesn't become
useless after the event and can be re-used for coordinating future events.
The naming convention for the list also depends on country codes and
previous naming convention, Wikimediaindia-events would be a sub-list of
Wikimediaindia-l.
