Rip out the information about the PSA, since the fate of that is not

Update the information about the mailing list, using the python.org
address instead of cwi.nl, and point to the pipermail archives.  Also
update the daily average message count (at the risk of scaring people
off), using the mail archive at http://www.egroups.com/group/python-list
for the first half of 2000 for statistical information.
