+1, but renaming fedora-list to fedora-users only makes sense if we move
to a different host.

BTW, do we want to keep the fedora prefix if we really want to switch to
lists.fedoraproject.org (the switch is under discussion and early
evaluation)

I only got a few replies, but I tend to fedora-devel-users now again as well

I now prefer fedora-developers over fedora-devel (which I used in my
posted proposal) as well. Someone else suggested the same in private.

No, maintainers is to confusing IMHO, especially as the current list has
a different purpose than the planed fedora-project list. That's meant
for all contributors (e.g. ambassadors, too, and those are not really
"maintainers")

Those discussion will will probably held on fedora-development afaics.

Yeah, maybe.
