I think that remains to be seen. Personally, I think -maintainers and -devel had overlapping purposes and there was not a way to enforce the distinction. -devel-announce should cover the "low traffic" part that -maintainers was intended for. It will handle the "these things have changed" type of announcements. As for actual discussions, I really do feel those belong on -devel. josh -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
