Why not direct them here, just perhaps set up their e-mail client so that all e-mails are sent to a folder, that way the main inbox doesn't get full of e-mail from here, as there can be quite a lot at times. Maybe teach them how to watch specific threads, so they post a question, when it arrives in their inbox from the list, tag it to watch. I suggest this, as it is the main list for Debian, plus I am not a full expert but can still help with some stuff, and happy to do so. Also new users asking questions here can highlight specific issues, a task that should (and is considered simple, by developers or more experienced users) may not be, and may need looking in to as to how that task can be made less complex (if that makes sense) or explained differently. Sometimes when new users and developers (including documentation editors) can communicate good things happen. if may also help us develop good documentation too, as even writing that can throw up questions.
