I think it's probably high time to move the list off the UIUC server.
Since the list is already mirrored on eGroups (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/squeak), all that would have to happen would be for people to subscribe to the group, unsubscribe from the list, and start posting to squeak@egroups.com, instead of squeak@cs.uiuc.edu. Since the lists are mirrors, nothing is lost as people migrate.
The migration should be painless, since the mirroring is already in place. The last person on the UIUC server would still see all of the messages, barring server failures at UIUC.
Not a bad idea, although running a list directly on eGroups/Yahoo means that there are ads attached to email posts, which can be annoying. I think a privately run list would be preferable, since we have a few offers.
