>Description:
	New mailing list freebsd-wip-status created; this PR updates docs
	accordingly (well, mostly).
>How-To-Repeat:
	Note discrepancy between mailing lists shown at (e.g.)<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL> vs. those shown at <http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo>.
>Fix:
	Below will likely need some vetting, redaction, and other
	editorial exercises.  :-}
