Yes, I know this split is common, but I don't think it works very well. I see that sympy, for example, has only one mailing list, and that works extremely well. I'd be interested to hear from the Cython and IPython guys as to whether they feel the user / devel split has helped or hurt. Ferando? Dag? And I continue to think it sends the wrong message. My impression is that, at the moment, we numpy-ers are trying to work out what kind of community we are. Are we a developer community, or are we some developers who are users of a library that we rely on, but do not contribute to? The split between a 'user' and a 'developer' carries an idea that is very important - exactly now. So, I (personally) think that exactly now we should not do this. Maybe later when we've really confronted the - ideas - that are the source of the current trouble.
