I generally don't use the developers list at all, unless I'm talking
about the git server config, maintenance, or other things that are of
limited purpose outside of "people with git commit privs".  That's a
pretty sharp distinction to me, but I don't think that's the problem
you refer to.  I think we don't have a sharp distinction between using
and developing.

We've tried having development talk separate, but some users felt they
weren't "being heard" and migrated there too, taking their user
problems with them.  So now it's all in one place and some users
complain anyway.  It seems that this group is just not diciplined
enough to keep development talk and usage talk separate, without
everyone's egos getting bruised.

We can't win, and I'm not going to try.  geda-developers is for people
who have git commit privs, for when we need to email everyone who has
git commit privs.  geda-help is for people who want help using geda.
Everything else goes on geda-user.
