[Wikimedia-l] New design for the list info page?

[Thehelpfulone]

I've gone ahead and updated
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/cabal-l to reflect this.
You'll notice that some of the language has been simplified, and the
password fields have been removed because this list has public archives and
the subscriber list is only viewable by list admins, so there's no real
need to know your password for this list. Unfortunately this still reverts
to old design for other languages but I'm working on seeing if there's a
way to fix that.

Isarra (and anyone else) can you see any issues with the newer design in
terms of usability? As a reminder the source is at
https://github.com/quimgil/mailman-templates.
