Hello all,

A quick question about our mailing lists policy. 

Quite often I see that people tend to send the user-related questions to dev@. 
For example: [1], [2] and many similar ones.

I believe it’s a bad practice since it's mixing up with other dev-related 
threads and makes it difficult to search for similar questions in the future 
(since it’s expecting to be asked on user@).

What do you think should be the right behaviour for managing such emails? 
Forward this email to user@ (and remove dev@ address from copy) and ask 
politely to continue a discussion there? I tried it several times but sometimes 
it happened that discussion was "forked” and continued in two different lists 
which is even worse, imho. 

Anything else? What do you believe should work better in such cases (maybe some 
experience for other projects)? 

Regards,
Alexey
