What is the approach of the maemo community towards them?
In spite of its original intent, maemo-users has become the area for this kind of thing and should be allowed to continue in that role. Providing a proper place for "regular folks" interested in learning more about maemo to congregate encourages them to go through their early learning curve off the weightier lists and provides a growth path for them to be able to contribute at a higher level. The ITT forums do that to a certain extent, but the mailing list format does a better job of encouraging sustained lurking and listening, even when you're not posting your own problems.
