Correct, this mailing list is phased out in favor of
http://make.wordpress.org/accessibility/. Soon I'll have it turned off.

I really appreciate you wanting to help. We can use it, for sure. I'd also
love to hear what has come from the ATAG working group that we should be
paying attention to, in particular. The W3C has asked us to provide
feedback, but most of us don't have the time or knowledge to be able to do
that effectively.

Cheers!
