I believe I'm one of the guilty parties, mainly because I wasn't clear on the intents of the list. I though -maintainer was for bug mails, -commits were for VCS commits, and -science was for both user and packaging discussion. I can't really find a clear description of what discussions should go on where on the wikis: from [1]: "Get involved: {*} Join debian-science mailing list, work on the wiki pages, report about interesting scientific free sofware (fill RFP)." with no reference to the other lists but from [2]: "How to join: -Debian Science has a mailing list debian-science. And if you wonder why the mailing-list reply-to is set to the author instead of the list itself, read this. -The packaging team has also two mailing lists available on Alioth: debian-science-maintainers & debian-science-commits" Since debian-science showed up twice, I believed it to be the "main" list while the other two lists were tools for following bug-mails or commits but follow up with [3] finds: "debian-science-commits Commit messages of packages maintained by Debian Science debian-science-maintainers Archives Mailing list for maintainer discussions and BTS messages" If we make the wiki clearer, I think Sylvestre's proposal should already be the status quo.
