[coreboot] Moving gerrit to an separate mailing list

[Oliver Schinagl]

As a lurker, mostly anyway, I wholeheartedly agree. And I think for the 
'you can set up a filter' group, I think the opposite is true. You can 
just setup a filter for the gerrit mails to put mails into the same 
directory I suppose too :)
