There really is only list that all DDs are expected to read, and that's d-d-a. [1] My understanding is that to date, we don't auto-subscribe new developers, because some may chose to read it through other sources than a direct email subscription. I personally wouldn't be opposed to making d-d-a an auto-subscription for new DDs, if they can still unsubscribe in the event they want to use RSS or some other alternate technology or email address to read the announcements. That said, I believe it would be highly counterproductive to force -project and -devel on everyone, since both lists are high traffic and target different areas of interest. I don't have a strong opinion on which, if any, mailing lists new DMs should be subscribed to. At first blush d-d-a seems like it could be appropriate as well.
