+1 to a request for Jakarta-Math-Discuss list. I'd like to be Apache-Math-Discuss, but that might cause issues, cf the Python mail list request a while back.
Why I like this: It is not tied to the commons-math code, but to the community that the commons-math code wants to join. I expect [math] to be using it for math discussion with commons-dev for Java related dev issues (such as maven, site etc) and releases. Average Java joes would still come to commons-user for [math] questions, so commons-math would have to be covering that too. I said +1 in that I'm prepared to go onto infrastructure and ask for this etc, get the PMC to ask for it or whatever.
