Overall it looks good, but I'd rephrase it a bit:

The Fedora Hosted lists will be migrated on November 16th, and the
Fedora project lists later in the week. After migration you should be
able to use the new hyperkitty UI to post and read the lists if you
choose or continue to get emails in the traditional way.
There may be some changes in some headers, so if you filter your list
emails be ready to adjust your filters. (See wiki page below for
details).
Some lists using mailman2 features not yet available in mailman3 will
be migrated later. (See above wiki page for a full list).
More information as well as current lists migrated, being migrated and
deferred for migration can be found at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailman3_Migration
If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the infrastructure
list: infrastructure(a)lists.fedoraproject.org.
Maybe we could point them to the staging instance so that can get acquainted with
the UI if they haven't seen it before?
