The list isn't sponsored by NetApp, so I wouldn't expect that they'd pay
for any domain registration. But ultimately, the decision about the
domain name needs to be made by the list-owner, and I don't think lack
of money to register a domain name is the problem... if he wanted to
register a different domain name for the mailing list, he probably would
have already done so, likewise, if he needed financial or technical
assistance to choose an alternate domain for the list, he probably would
have asked for it.
Since it seems pretty clear that the list-owner (who has been kind
enough to take on the work of maintaining the list going forward) would
like to keep the existing name, I think it's best to not worry about
what some people might choose to infer from the domain name, and leave
it at that.
