Well, it's not so much for other people (which indeed can probably better use the
PTS stuff) but more ourselves.  People interested in what we're doing but not so
much interested in messages related to package uploads and bug reports would not
bothered with these latter messages if we redirect them to a separate mailing list.

The -devel list would then be like debian-devel (but hopefully without all the
nonsense that's usually on there) and the new -pkg list would be a combination
of debian-bugs-dist and debian-devel-changes.

It's just a thought...

Thanks,
Ardo
