Sure -- it would be helpful to see what other projects use before we
actually decide to rename :-)

What I think we want:
- To have only devel traffic on the devel list
- (With minimal effort on our part) To get our users/volunteers to the
right list to answer their questions

If a small linguistic change in our list name can head-off a large
percentage of the messages that are posted to the wrong list, then it
might be worth it. Anyone have anecdotal evidence one way or the other
here?

Best,
--R

(*light goes on* -- I could just ask all of the people who post
questions/bug reports, etc.. to the dev list why they chose to use
this particular list. Perhaps there's some oddball reason like "I
found it listed on website XYZ")
