"-dev" and "-development" could be mistaken for "dev[elopment] using
GCC". So could "gcc-hackers" and "gcc-advanced", which were the next
two possibilities which popped into my head.
If we go to the trouble of renaming lists, let's really drive the point
home and call it "gcc-internals" or "gcc-maintainters" or the like.
Putting gcc-help as the first address mentioned in lists.html is a
good idea.
Aliasing gcc@ to anything other than gcc-help@ or to an autoresponder which
points people to lists.html will not do much to address the problem, in my
humble/harsh opinion... but then I'm something of an unforgiving hardnose
when it comes to offtopic messages, so perhaps that opinion should be
discounted. :-)
