Fedora-devel-discuss list should be called fedora-devel-users. The name
devel-discuss would suggest that one discusses development issues on this list,
where in fact it is for development code users.

Regarding fedora-devel, the plan is:

So, when a new person attempts to subscribe to this list (say, a Debian or ASF
developer), someone is going to check this person's FOSS credentials before
membership is accepted, right? How is this going to be organised and will there
be objective criteria for "well known"?
