Hi all,
> Name: debian-mlhwaccl
Just to add a bit of personal experience, I very much regret that the
Lintian list was called "debian-lint-maint", a name that renders the
most simple search for the string "lintian" to return zero results.
As a result of this, I was not even aware of the list's existence
until many years after I was a regular contributor. The "boot" mailing
list — which is mostly concerned with the development of the Debian
Installer — is similarly affected by discoverability-related UX
issues.
Your "mhlhwaccl" suggested name unfortunately suffers from this
precise problem, and arguably more so. It risks excluding potential
contributors either by them not being able to locate the list in the
first place, or by them being deterred by an obscure acronym.
I do not have any concrete alternatives (and I would very much prefer
not to engage in an "okay, is X better?"-style exchange) but I would
humbly suggest you brainstorm an alternative name. However, I will add
that a suffix that does not attempt both to reference both "machine
learning" and "hardware acceleration" may actually be preferable in a
net sense, even at the expense of the term that you leave out.
(Needless to say, renaming the list later will come with numerous
cognitive and technical overheads.)
Regards,
